My Top Tips for Your Trip to China

Essential Yunnan Travel Tips
- Visitors to Liijang (at about 2400m) and Shangri-La (at about 3,300m) should be aware of altitude sickness.
- Please respect the customs of local Bai, Nayi, Yi, Hani, Tibetan, and other minority groups.
- If you like hiking and trekking, make sure you visit Tiger Leaping Gorge and Yubeng Village in Shangri-La.
- Popular local dishes such as crossing-bridge rice noodles and mushroom hot pot should not be missed!
General China Travel Tips
- Experience happiness bargaining with the vendors.
- Use Wechat for chatting, making calls, and payment as well.

What My Clients Say
Private tours of Great Wall, Terracotta Warriors of Xian and Chengdu all done with China Xian Tours
“We booked 3 tours and our bullet train tickets with China Xian tours. We worked with Grace in the office before we arrive in China. She was fantastic answering our questions and getting back to us in a timely manor and making recommendations to us. She also made sure our train tickets were delivered to our first hotel in Beijing and checked in with us after every tour.
We went with all private tours and are very glad we did. Private is the way to go in china. We specifically could spend as much or as little time and make changes to our itinerary based on our desires and even based on weather.”

Awesome Services and Very Professional
“Ms. Grace (travel consultant) was very helpful in arranging the best trip for me and my family in Xi'an. The tour guide, Mr. Joe and the driver too were both very friendly and helpful to us. As we are travelling with 2 young children, me and wife were very thankful that both of them were very patient (i.e. we can't walk too fast, we need to use baby stroller etc).
Also, thanks for arranging vegetarian lunch for us, we truly appreciate it. It was a right decision in engaging with them for this tour as we have limited time in Xi'an. Definitely will recommend them to friends and relatives. Thanks!”

73, 65+,& 40yr old, great use of time, good driver and professional guide.
“I contacted Grace over wechat (I'm the 40yr old with some Chinese) and it was very convenient to negotiate places and get a recommendation of where to stay. I validated most of the rest of the trip and am able to get around on subways and bus in China, but you may want full service. (we chose full service in Zhangjiajie)
I hope most tourists would like to know more about how the Chinese people live, and the famous places are very well run, and are part of the story. We got to meet the man who found the terracotta army! I don’t think we would have had the memorable experience without having our guide.”

It was a great experience engaging China Xian Tour for our family trip to Yunnan. One of the tour guide in Shangri La showed his expertise and experience in taking care of us and the children. The driver was friendly and smiling throughout the trip. Hotels in Dali and Lijiang were also a great experience with excellent service. We had a great trip.

My wife and I want to go to see Xian and Chengdu in China. Find a couple of China travel agencies from Google. Finally have Kelly from Joy Travel (China Xian Tour) to custom make our 10 days China holiday. Hotels at all locations are good, drivers are courteous and professional. We have a perfect holiday. Will ask Joy Travel to arrange our trip to China next year.

We enjoyed tailored trip to historical Silk Road. Great mix of activities (camel riding + hiking), impressive scenery, cultural sights, and Chinese history appreciation.

Great experience of China Great Wall tour! Enjoyed an ice cold beer after one hour of hiking up and down the Great Wall, what a wonderful memory! Tour booking experience was super smooth, guide and driver were full on time supporting us and very friendly! Can only recommend China Xian Tour!
