Sophia Liu

Senior Travel Consultant

I am excited to share my practical ideas coming from my ever-real experience. In my past working experience, I have helped thousands of people organize their China tours successfully and many of them have chosen us repeatedly since then.

I have been working as a travel consultant for 10+ years since graduation. I love to travel, and I have in person visited most of the popular Chinese destinations like Beijing, Shanghai, Suzhou, Hangzhou, Guilin, Sanya, Yunnan, Chengdu, Chongqing, Luoyang, Lanzhou, Dunhuang, Urumqi… I also aspire to travel around the world to see the beautiful scenery in foreign countries and learn about their history and culture.

But for now, I would like to explore more of my country, and present its magnificent land and fascinating history to all who plan to visit China. It is rich in its thousands-of-year history & culture, vast with its grassland, mountains, plains, lakes, plateaus…

If this old oriental country piques your curiosity and visiting China is one of your dreams, please contact me. I will do my best to bring your dream alive with a smile — helping you have a safe and wonderful trip to China. Your China adventure awaits…

My Top Tips for Your Trip to China

Essential Silk Road Travel Tips

The catering and lodging conditions are relatively poor in the backward areas like Gansu and Qinghai.
It will be a long journey from one scenic spot to another, so take some medicine if you may have carsickness.
Please respect the customs of local Hui and Moslem.
Prepare Winter clothes and sunblock clothes for all seasons of travel. Protect yourself from the sun and dry weather.

What My Clients Say

Specialized's Most Excellent Journey to Xi'an

“We had an absolutely fantastic time in Xi'an and it wouldn’t have been the same without our guide Wendy. Our group consisted of 18 boisterous men and one lady, but this didn’t affect her at all. She was very professional. Although when we went to Mt Huashan it was heavily fogged over, this trip was one of the highlights of all the time I have spent in China.
I have travelled a lot in China over a period of 20 years and it’s great to see the country is finally opening itself to tourism. The emails and communication from Sophia at China Xian Tour were fantastic and everything was easy to transact. We would definitely recommend this China tour agency and their services…we had an absolute blast.”

15 Days Best China Silk Road Tour from Xian to Urumqi

“After 3 years of hibernating, in Mid October 2023 we went on holiday to China again. This time we chose "Silk Road Trip", an adventure trip for our age.
A very enjoyable trip and full of beautiful memories for us and our family. This holiday, not only sees extraordinary views but also learns about the history of traders' journeys via the Silk Road and the development of religion in life at that time through the grottoes found.
This is our 5th holiday arranged by China Xian Tour. Thank you to China Xian Tour and Sophia for planning the travel itineraries, providing service beyond expectations, the professional guides, the comfortable vehicle and the careful driver. See you again in our next trip to China!”

A lovely tour company - 100% recommend

“From initial email contact to being dropped back off at the hotel - Sophia is thorough and professional. She provided regular updates and followed up throughout the day.
We were collected from our hotel in Shanghai in a lovely car. Flights were well organised and we were greeted at Arrivals in Xian by Nancy and our driver for the trip.Nancy is kind, considerate and very well informed. She takes a real pride in Xian as a city - as well as the Terracotta Warriors.
Don’t even try and organise the trip yourself - just hand it over to China Xian Tour, sit back and enjoy. They really care about making sure you have a smooth and comfortable tour.”

Our China Tour to Australia

“Sophia’s team for Xi’an Private tours were amazing to deal with. Very professional, friendly and efficient services. Noble was our guide and was fun and very informative, his knowledge of the City and its surrounding was outstanding. They even went above and beyond to recover one of the kids IPads that was left on the plane.
Thank you all for an amazing trip to Xi’an, we highly recommend your business and services to anyone that asked.”

We passed 19 days China tour including Yangtse river cruise, Chongqinq, Zhangjiajie, Yunnan, Lhasa, and Chengdu. All arranged by Sophia from China Xian Tour. What a wonderful trip! All very well organised and Sophia returned me in a while when I need a help or information. Thanks a lot.

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!
