Sample journeys
Every route below started as somebody else’s trip and got rewritten. Tell us your children’s ages and we adjust duration, hotel tier, cities and daily pace before we quote.
Tropical rainforest, rescued Asian elephants, Dai and Bulang villages, and the old tea forests of Jingmai Mountain. Warm all year, gentle on legs, and the strongest trip we run for children under ten.
The classic Yunnan line, and still the best first trip. Lake cycling and Bai tie-dye at Dali, the old town water channels at Lijiang, then up to Shangri-La — routed this direction so altitude climbs gradually.
Beijing, Xi’an, Chengdu and Shanghai, connected by high-speed rail with two nights minimum per base. For families who want the famous things once, done properly, rather than twice in a rush.
Most of our trips do not exist until someone asks for them.
