When it helps

A Trip Plan is useful when…

You want a great trip without doing weeks of research.

Instead of comparing dozens of blogs, maps and social-media recommendations, you receive one organised plan built around your dates and interests.

You need to fit travel around fixed commitments.

Coming for meetings, an expo, a conference or another event? We can plan your free time around the parts of your schedule that cannot move.

You want more than a list of famous attractions.

We tailor the trip to your taste and interests, and find the places you'll actually want to go — not just the five most famous things in each city.

What you receive

A practical day-by-day plan built for your trip.

  • A recommended overall route

    Which cities to visit, in what order, and how to use your time efficiently.

  • A day-by-day itinerary

    What to do each day, arranged geographically and at a realistic pace.

  • Sightseeing recommendations

    The major places worth prioritising, along with suggestions you may prefer to skip.

  • Food and local experiences

    Recommendations based on your interests, dietary preferences, budget and travel style.

  • Transport and timing notes

    How to move between cities and practical information for each part of the trip.

  • A plan tailored to you

    Whether you care most about history, food, nature, nightlife, shopping, design, photography or quieter local areas.

The Trip Plan is a planning service. You make and pay for your own transport, accommodation and reservations. Plans are made to order and non-refundable, and are built around the budget and pace you provide. For booking assistance and trip coordination, explore our Private Concierge service.

How it works

Three steps to your itinerary.

1

Tell us about your trip

Share your dates, preferred cities or region, travel pace, interests and any fixed commitments.

2

We create your itinerary

We design the route and your day-by-day plan from a large base of places across China — many of which we've visited ourselves — chosen around your priorities.

3

Your draft, then the final

Your first draft arrives within 4 days. Tell us what to change or add, and we deliver the final within 48 hours. Happy with the draft? It's yours as-is.

Travelling for business?

Make better use of the time around your meetings.

Share your conference, expo or meeting schedule, and we'll plan around it. We'll point you to the good places right by your venue — restaurants, coffee shops, a quick bite between sessions — so you know exactly where to go, without wasting time on spots you won't like.

For your free time — an evening, a spare half-day, the weekend — you'll get recommendations for sightseeing, shopping and whatever you're interested in. For each one, we include the travel time to and from your venue, so you can fit it around your meetings.

The fixed commitments stay fixed. We build the rest of the trip around them.

Why Go China Visa-Free

Planning made for your actual trip.

China-focused research

We combine first-hand experience in China with research across Chinese and English platforms, to build plans that actually work when you're there.

Made for your actual trip

Your plan reflects your dates, interests, pace, budget and existing commitments. It is not a generic itinerary with your name added to it.

Independent recommendations

We are not selling a fixed tour package. Recommendations are chosen for your trip, not because a particular hotel, attraction or restaurant paid to be included.

Quick questions

Good to know.

What exactly will I receive?

A written day-by-day itinerary covering your recommended route, daily activities, sightseeing, food, transport and practical notes. It is yours to follow and book at your own pace.

How is the plan personalised?

The planning form asks about your dates, interests, pace, budget, preferred cities, dietary needs and any fixed commitments. We use those details to shape the route and each day. We also take your contact details, so we can message you if we have any questions while we plan.

How long does it take, and can I ask for changes?

Your first draft arrives within 4 days. You then get one round of changes — tell us what to add, drop or adjust — and we deliver your final plan within 48 hours. If you're happy with the first draft, it's yours as-is.

Do you make the bookings?

The Custom Trip Plan does not include bookings. You remain in control of your purchases and reservations.

For booking assistance, trip coordination and support during your journey, choose our Private Concierge service.

Can you plan around meetings or an event?

Yes. Send us your fixed schedule, venue and available free time. We will plan around those commitments rather than asking you to rearrange them.

Which plan should I choose?

Choose according to both trip length and number of cities:

  • Up to 5 days and 1–2 cities: $129
  • Up to 14 days and up to 3 cities: $249
  • 15+ days and up to 5 cities: $349

For a more complex route, send us the trip details and we'll confirm the appropriate option.

Is payment refundable?

Each plan is made to order, so payment is non-refundable once you order. Your plan is built from the details you give us — so please be realistic about your budget and how much you want to see. Ten stops a day, or several far-apart cities in just a few days, isn't something any planner can make work.

Leave your contact information in the form, and tell us whether a messenger or email is the easiest way to reach you. If anything you've asked for doesn't add up — the budget, the pace, or a route that isn't physically doable — we'll reach out to check with you before we finalise your plan. If we can't reach you, we'll build the most sensible version we can from what you provided.

Start with your dates. We'll shape the rest.

Tell us where you are going, what you enjoy and how you like to travel. We'll turn it into a clear China itinerary built around you.
