Discover the Real China
with a Local Friend
A licensed, China-based travel specialist crafting private, tailor-made journeys for international travelers.
Beyond Famous Landmarks:
Connecting with Everyday Life
Local Trip China is a licensed, China-based travel company specializing in private, tailor-made journeys for international travelers.
Beyond the Great Wall, the Forbidden City and the Terracotta Warriors, your journey can take you closer to everyday life in China—trying Chinese calligraphy, picking and tasting tea at a tea plantation, making dumplings with a family in a Beijing hutong, or experiencing local life in a traditional Chengdu teahouse or city park.
We begin by learning about your interests and preferred pace, then thoughtfully combine iconic sights with local experiences that suit you. We hope you leave China with more than photos of famous landmarks—with a deeper, more personal understanding of the country.
