Plan My China Trip →A first trip to China can feel unfamiliar before you even land. Payments, mobile data, apps, train travel, attraction reservations and local transport all work a little differently.
We help you prepare for the practical side of China travel before your journey begins.
Practical guidance for setting up Alipay or WeChat Pay with an international card, plus sensible backup payment options for your trip.
Guidance on mobile data and suitable SIM/eSIM options so you can choose a setup that works for the services you rely on while travelling.
Know which apps can be useful for payments, transport, translation and communication — before you arrive and need them.
We coordinate bookable train tickets and attraction reservations included in your confirmed itinerary, subject to official availability and booking rules.
Airports, stations, transfers, drivers and meeting points are planned into the journey so moving between places feels much more straightforward.
Useful local guidance on passports, security checks, drinking water, toilets, everyday etiquette and other small details that can make a big difference.
You do not need to master every app, booking system or local process before you come. Our role is to make the journey easier to understand, easier to prepare for and easier to travel.
A private journey is about more than choosing beautiful places. It is about making the route, pace and arrangements fit the people who are actually travelling.
That is where a local private-travel team makes the difference.
Tell us who is travelling, when you are coming and what you would love to experience. We build the journey around you rather than asking you to fit into a fixed group-tour schedule.
Hotels, attraction reservations, trains, transfers, local transport and multi-city routing — we help connect the practical details into one workable private journey.
Where your itinerary calls for it, we can arrange private guides and transportation so you can experience China at a pace that suits you — without joining a standard group tour.
We are based in China. Before your arrival and while you are travelling, you have a local team to contact if questions come up or plans need attention.
Authentic China Trips is operated by BEIJING YONG'AN TRAVEL SERVICE CO., LTD., licensed to provide domestic and inbound tourism services in China.
Maybe you only know you want Beijing, Xi’an and somewhere with beautiful nature. That is enough to start. Tell us what is already on your wish list and we can help shape the rest.
Share your dates, interests and the places already on your wish list. We’ll use them as the starting point for your private China journey.
