Introducing our most northern destination: Xi’an! Though the Terracotta Army, the Grand Mosque and snacking your way through the Muslim Quarter remain classics, we prefer to venture beyond the walls and warriors to experience Xi’an from a local’s perspective. Enter cave dwellings to learn more about troglodyte life, sample local Shaanxi specialties, get hands on with traditional papermaking or terracotta warrior replicas, meet local crafts(wo)men who’ll show and teach you their ancient trades, get up close with panda bears without the need to go all the way to Chengdu, pick fruit along the way (seasonal), and, for an extra dose of rural nostalgia, hit the dirt tracks by vintage army jeep.

Offer includes ½ to 4 days programs: pick one of our day tours to compliment your own trip or have us tailor a multi-day getaway, which includes the city’s highlights, local experiences, rural escapes, and overnight stays or even a sleeper train in/out (somehow, I feel no Xi'an trip is complete without a night on a train…)

As ‘sanfu’ (sweltering summer) has started in Shanghai, we prefer to head Yunnan’s cooler climate and seek our refuge at the edge of Eastern Himalayas.

While most providers only offer day tours in downtown Shanghai, often focussing on the same areas and rehashing the same stories, we instead prefer to introduce you to a Shanghai beyond the former concessions, to share a history beyond the O***m Wars and to help you discover a Shanghai beyond the guidebooks. We even managed to find some of the city’s last bits of unmanicured nature for a day full of adventure for the little ones. Check www.explorebeyondchina.com/shanghai for more info! #中国 #上海

After two years in the making (thanks to ever-changing travel restrictions and understandably wary locals…), our latest weekend getaway is finally finished! Escape to the subtropical mountains west of Xiamen and live amongst the Hakka in one of their giant communal homes, called tulou. Explore the village’s every nook and cranny, go hiking in the tea bush covered hills, make your own mini tulou, discover hidden village gems and participate in seasonal activities such as tea picking and bamboo shoot harvesting. In short: a great opportunity to slow down, explore and drink lots of tea. Visit www.explorebeyondchina.com/xiamen for more info or drop us a line for a sample program #中国 #福建 #土楼

No plans yet for a spring (family) holiday? No worries, here are some of our suggestions: travel to the edge of the Himalayas in Yunnan for some R&R in gorgeous landscapes, unravel the lesser known stories & destinations of the Hakka in Fujian & Guangzhou, explore a progressive yet charming Guizhou beyond the overrun tourist minority villages or complete a laundry list of activities in Guilin & Yangshuo, amidst karst mountains & endless rice terraces. And if you don't want to venture too far, our city tours help you discover the lesser known corners of the city you now call home.

Guizhou is not just a safe haven of ethnic diversity and cultures, but also of communist relics. This is an abandoned mercury mine from the 1950s, set up with help from Soviet experts. Drop us a line if you want it to be part of your next Guizhou trip!

A bit of good news to start (y)our weekend with: Guilin is our first destination to accept Shanghai travellers from low risk areas, even with a *! Looking forward to exchange the concrete jungle for karst scenery, rice terraces and gentle rivers/swimming pool? Then drop me a line to plan your well-deserved city escape. We’ll take care of all the logistics and provide you with our own designed handbook plus WeChat hotline for a more independent yet curated experience.
