What we provide: your personalized city itinerary

Custom China itinerary planning.

Your dates, days in the city, group size, interests and preferred pace shape the plan. Receive a mobile-friendly HTML itinerary and a print-friendly A4 PDF. You explore independently, without an accompanying guide.

Daily routes, with time to explore.

Nearby sights are grouped into manageable days, with time for meals, breaks and discoveries. English and Chinese place names, Chinese address cards and short explanations help you understand each stop.

Transport and booking guidance.

Metro directions, station exits, walking connections and estimated taxi journeys explain how to move between stops. Booking notes identify reservations to check, with source links and check dates for researched details. You make and manage your own bookings.

Local food and Chinese ordering cards.

Find food recommendations suited to your preferences, with Chinese dish names and ordering cards to show staff. Share dietary restrictions in your questionnaire; ingredient requests should still be confirmed directly with each restaurant.

Spending estimates and travel essentials.

Suggested daily spending allowances are shown in US dollars, with meals, local transport and sightseeing separated from accommodation and travel to the city. Payment and navigation notes, useful Chinese phrases and emergency information round out your guide.

What to know before you plan.

City guide or personal itinerary?

Our public city pages introduce history, culture, food and signature sights. They are not date-verified itineraries. Your questionnaire describes the stay you would like us to plan.

Estimates, not price guarantees.

Budget ranges describe the travel style we plan for, not the minimum cost of visiting a city. Prices, exchange rates and travel times can change. Accommodation and travel to the city are separate.

Check the source before booking.

Use official attraction, transport and accommodation information to reconfirm time-sensitive details. A check date records when information was reviewed; it does not guarantee later availability. City images are reference-based AI illustrations, not proof of a personal visit.

Travel planning questions

What is China / Your Pace?

China / Your Pace is a personalized itinerary-planning service for independent travelers. Choose one of 14 Chinese cities and describe your dates, group, interests and budget. The plan is designed for you to follow yourself, without an accompanying guide.

Does one itinerary cover more than one city?

Each itinerary covers one city from our 14 supported destinations. We plan around the number of days you will spend there, your travel party, interests and preferred pace.

Which Chinese cities can you plan for?

Choose Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Hangzhou, Suzhou, Nanjing, Chongqing, Chengdu, Wuhan, Xi’an, Qingdao, Kunming or Xiamen. Each request is for one city.

What will I receive in my personalized itinerary?

Your itinerary comes as a mobile-friendly HTML guide and a print-friendly A4 PDF. It brings together daily routes, Chinese address cards, food and ordering suggestions, transport directions, booking guidance and estimated spending in US dollars, tailored to your questionnaire.

Can I travel in China without joining a tour?

Yes. Our service provides a self-guided city itinerary for independent travel in China. We help with planning; you decide when to pause, explore further or adjust your day. An accompanying guide and transport service are not included.

Are hotels, attraction tickets or transport bookings included?

Hotel stays, tickets, transport fares and booking services are not included. We provide planning and booking guidance; you make and pay for reservations directly. If you request hotel recommendations, share your budget per room per night and preferred room type.

How is my daily travel budget estimated?

For the itineraries we design, suggested daily allowances start at US$150 per person for Shanghai, US$80 for Beijing, Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Hangzhou, and US$60–70 for the other supported cities. These are planning allowances, not minimum visitor costs or guaranteed prices. They cover meals, local transport, sightseeing and a contingency allowance; accommodation and travel to the city are separate.

Can the itinerary suit children, seniors or a slower pace?

Tell us the total number of travelers, how many are children or seniors, and any mobility needs in the questionnaire. We use those details to shape a more manageable route. Specific access needs should be reconfirmed with venues and transport providers.

Can I request hotel suggestions?

Yes. Choose the hotel-recommendation option in the questionnaire, then enter your budget in US dollars per room per night and your preferred room type. Hotel recommendations are planning information; you arrange the booking directly.

Are public city pages verified for my travel dates?

No. Public pages are general city introductions. Opening hours, prices and booking requirements need to be checked for your dates. Reference-based AI images illustrate the city and should not be treated as current site conditions.

Can you help me plan my first trip to China?

Yes. First-time visitors can request a custom itinerary for one of our 14 supported cities. Tell us your dates, interests and preferred pace. The guide can bring together daily routes, Chinese addresses, food recommendations and practical transport notes. Each request covers one city, rather than a multi-city China tour.

Can I request Alipay, WeChat Pay and map guidance?

Yes. Use the questionnaire to request payment, navigation and transportation setup notes. Depending on your choices, these can cover Alipay, WeChat Pay, Amap (Gaode Maps) and Apple Maps. Confirm current eligibility and setup requirements with each provider before travel; the guide does not guarantee that a particular card or device will work.
