Family Holidays
China is harder for families than the brochures suggest — long drives, language gaps, kids who hate temple #4. We've built family-friendly trips that solve those things: pandas, soft hikes, slow boats, hot springs, food worth a long flight, and the kind of pacing that lets everyone sleep at dinner.

Tengchong Family Adventure
Four days through Tengchong's volcanic heart with elderly relatives and children alike — sunrise hot-air ballooning over the craters, geothermal egg-cooking at Rehai, Heshun's heritage lanes, and winter waterfowl on Beihai wetland. Built for multi-generational families.
-
Xishuangbanna Family Adventure
Where family trips actually become stories worth telling — hand-feeding wild elephants in Mengyang Valley, rainforest canopy walks 70 m above the treetops, Dai-village dress-up afternoons. Yunnan's tropical southwest, designed for school-age kids and up.
-
Dali Family Fairytale
Dali's countryside reads like a real-life fairytale — a Swiss-Alps aesthetic with a local Bai twist. Garden DIY workshops, sheep-feeding on a lakeside meadow, a mini-train ride through Xizhou's emerald rice fields. Three days of soft, hands-on countryside for families.

Chengdu Family Adventures
Pandas at first light, Bronze Age bronzes from a civilisation no one can quite explain, lantern-lit teahouse evenings, snow-peak valleys three hours west, and a 2,000-year-old cypress road. Five experiences that together make the case for Chengdu as a place — not a stopover.
Trips we already build for families

Soulful Side of Yunnan
Dali, Tengchong, and Mangshi — three towns most Yunnan itineraries skip one of. Bai heritage courtyards, Tengchong's volcanic hot springs, and a Dai town near the Myanmar border that feels closer to Southeast Asia than to Han China.

Chongqing & Chengdu: Two Rivers, Two Tables
A 5–6 day private tour weighted toward Chongqing — neon river cities, UNESCO Wulong Karst, the Longji (Dragon's Backbone) ridge hike above the Yangtze, and two different tables of Sichuan heat. Bookended with a soft Chengdu landing.
-
Guilin: Rivers, Peaks & Hidden Trails
Five days on the Li River and Longji terraces — bamboo rafting, karst ridge walks, and heritage lodges in Yangshuo and the Longsheng highlands.

Gentle Summer in Yunnan
Wild elephants in Xishuangbanna, then three days on UNESCO-listed Jingmai Mountain among ancient tea trees and Blang villages. Eight to twelve days — built for families, works equally well without them.
