Notice before we start - Custom Travel Planning Process

Planning your dream trip to China? I’m here to make it simple and tailored to your preferences! Here's a step-by-step guide to how we'll create your personalized travel itinerary:

Step 1: Initial Consultation

We’ll begin by discussing your travel preferences! I’ll ask you about your travel style, interests, and any specific destinations or activities you want to include in your trip. Whether you're looking for a cultural exploration, adventure, or just a relaxed sightseeing tour, I’ll ensure that your preferences are fully understood. You can reach out to me through email or the contact form on the website. I’ll take the time to get to know exactly what you're hoping for in your journey.

Step 2: Draft Creation (Within 3 Days)

Once I have a clear understanding of your preferences, I’ll start creating your personalized itinerary. This typically takes about 3 days. I will recommend the best destinations, activities, accommodations, and transportation options to make sure your trip is as enjoyable as possible. Please note, while I provide suggestions for accommodations, attractions, and transport, the costs of these are the client's responsibility.

Step 3: Reviewing the Draft

After I've put together your initial draft, I’ll send you a summary of the plan. This will include an overview of your proposed itinerary, with details on destinations, activities, and general timings. You’ll have a chance to review everything and provide feedback, as well as request any changes or adjustments you’d like to make.

Step 4: Confirmation & Payment

Once you're happy with the draft and confirm that everything looks good, I’ll send you an invoice with clear payment instructions. After I receive your payment, I will proceed with finalizing the complete itinerary.

Step 5: Final Itinerary Delivery

Once payment is received, I’ll send you the full, detailed itinerary, which includes all necessary details such as your accommodation information, transport arrangements, activity bookings, and additional travel tips. The itinerary will serve as your personalized guide, but please remember that the plan is meant to provide suggestions. All actual costs for accommodations, activities, and transportation are the responsibility of the traveler.

Step 6: Modifications and Adjustments

I understand that plans may need some fine-tuning along the way. If you need to make minor adjustments—like changing dates or shifting activities—I’m happy to accommodate those changes for free.

However, if you'd like to make significant revisions, such as adding or removing destinations or altering the overall itinerary, these changes may incur additional fees. The cost depends on the complexity of the revisions. I’m happy to discuss these changes with you in advance to ensure that you understand any extra charges, keeping the process transparent and affordable.

Additional Notes:

  • Flexibility is key! If you have any last-minute questions or need additional tweaks, don’t hesitate to reach out.

  • Throughout the process, I’ll provide extra tips, advice, and recommendations to make sure your trip goes smoothly and you have the best possible experience.

  • If you have special requests, like particular types of accommodations or specific activities you want to include, please let me know early on to ensure we can make it happen.

Slow Travel in Guangzhou: Exploring Liwan District & Yongqing Fang

When people think of Guangzhou, they often picture modern skylines, crowded shopping malls, or endless dim sum feasts. But if you really want to relax and travel deeper into the heart of this vibrant city, there's one neighborhood I always recommend: Liwan District —home to some of the most charming old streets and cultural treasures you’ll find anywhere in Guangzhou. One place, in particular, stands out: Yongqing Fang . This isn’t just a tourist spot; it’s a beautifully preserved piece of living history, with old Cantonese architecture, trendy boutiques, and cozy tea houses tucked into every corner. If you’re curious about Guangzhou’s roots and love wandering through places that tell stories, this is where you should go. Why Liwan District Matters I like to think of Liwan as the “soul” of old Guangzhou. While other parts of the city have become high-rise jungles, Liwan has kept its historic charm. The narrow alleyways, the Lingnan-style buildings with curved roofs and patterne...

A Taste of Guangzhou After Dark: Exploring Xihua Road

When we think of travel, it’s often the big landmarks that come to mind—famous museums, historical buildings, or iconic towers. But if you ask me, some of the best experiences come when the sun sets and the city lights flicker on. That’s exactly how I feel about Xihua Road , one of Guangzhou’s best-kept food secrets, especially at night. Tucked in the old part of the city, Xihua Road isn’t flashy or touristy. But that’s what makes it special. It’s where locals go to eat, hang out, and relax after a long day. If you’re visiting Guangzhou and want to taste authentic Cantonese street food in a lively neighborhood, this spot should definitely be on your list. Where Culture Meets Cuisine Guangzhou is known for its rich culinary history, and nowhere is that more obvious than on Xihua Road. Here, food isn’t just food—it’s tradition, family, and comfort, all wrapped into one. Think crispy-skinned roast goose served with steaming rice. Or fresh-off-the-wok fried rice noodles with beef,...

Step into Time: Exploring Pingyao Ancient City and the Legacy of Shanxi's Merchants

When we travel, we're often searching for stories—old streets that whisper secrets, temples that echo with past prayers, and houses that once belonged to people who changed history. Pingyao Ancient City in Shanxi is one of those rare places where all of that still lives. Walking through its timeworn alleys feels like stepping into a living museum, but one that’s very much alive. This place isn’t just about brick walls and pretty rooftops. Pingyao was once the financial heart of China, and the spirit of the old Shanxi merchants—known as Jinshang —still lingers in the air. If you're looking for a travel experience that blends culture, history, and a bit of mystery, Pingyao is a must-see. What Makes Pingyao So Special? I’ll be honest—I didn’t expect to be so enchanted by Pingyao. But once you step inside the preserved city walls, everything slows down. The entire city is a UNESCO World Heritage site, with architecture that dates back to the Ming and Qing dynasties. The st...
