Frequently Asked Questions
Who is this trip designed for?
This journey is crafted for first-time travelers to China, cultural enthusiasts, and anyone seeking a poetic, immersive experience that blends tradition and elegance. Whether you're a solo traveler, a couple, or a small group, our itinerary adapts to your pace and curiosity.
Is this a group or private tour?
This is a private semi-customizable experience. You’ll have your own bilingual guide and chauffeur, and we limit any shared activities to preserve intimacy and comfort.
Do I need a visa to join this tour?
If you are from one of the 15 visa-free countries, you're eligible for 15-day visa-free entry to China. Otherwise, we’ll assist you with the application process. Just send your passport scan at least 7 days in advance.
Are the workshops and activities suitable for beginners?
Absolutely! All experiences—from tea crafting to silk embroidery—are guided by masters who specialize in teaching beginners. You’ll also take home your creations as cultural souvenirs. No experience required, just curiosity 🌟
What kind of accommodation is included?
You can choose between a 4-star smart lakeside hotel or a 5-star luxury suite at Shangri-La West Lake. Both come with breakfast and walking access to scenic spots.
What’s included in the daily cost?
Each day’s cost covers transportation, private guides, entrance tickets, workshops, meals, and personalized experiences like photography, souvenirs, and keepsakes.
Can I customize my trip or replace certain activities?
Yes! We offer light customization before departure. Let us know your preferences (e.g. more shopping, more temples, less physical activity), and we’ll adjust accordingly.
Is this tour family-friendly?
Yes, very much so. Children love the hanfu dress-up, Song Dynasty games, and calligraphy. We can also tailor meals and activities for young travelers upon request.
How do I make payments?
We support credit cards, Alipay TourPass, and provide ¥200 in transit coin purse credit. Our team helps you set up everything—even if it’s your first time using Chinese apps.
What if I don’t speak Chinese at all?
No worries! You’ll have a 24/7 English-speaking concierge, multilingual guides, and translated materials throughout the journey.
Can I extend my stay in China?
Of course. We can help arrange extensions in nearby cities like Shanghai, Suzhou, or Huangshan. Just let us know your return date and travel interests.
