01
Begin with the China you want to discover.
There is no single way to experience China. Ancient capitals, Jiangnan’s waterways and the landscapes and everyday life of the southwest offer very different starting points. Choose two or three priorities before adding destinations.
02
Allow real time for travelling and resting.
A transfer involves more than time on a train or plane. Arrivals, connections, hotel check-in and recovery all need space. Start with the days you have and combine places that fit together without making every day a travel day.
03
Connect places through your interests.
If history draws you in, combine architecture and museums. If you prefer nature, reduce city changes and allow time for walking and scenery. Tailor the route to your interests rather than following a fixed formula.
04
Choose stays that support the journey.
Location shapes your daily route and the space affects your rest. Consider your party, transport, personal needs and local character instead of relying only on star ratings or luxury labels.
05
Clarify important conditions before booking.
Before agreeing to a proposal, check included services, exclusions, payment and cancellation conditions. Entry requirements depend on individual circumstances; consult the relevant official authorities rather than treating travel advice as an eligibility decision.
06
Start with a clear travel brief.
Gather your preferred places, travel dates, party size, budget range and the experiences you care about. It is fine to leave questions open. Expressing what matters is more useful than deciding every detail immediately.
