Signature region
Our Signature Region: Chengdu, Chongqing & Southwest China
Our strongest local network is in Southwest China — Chengdu, Chongqing, Sichuan and nearby nature destinations. This is where travelers can experience pandas, teahouse culture, Sichuan food, Chongqing's mountain-city skyline, Sanxingdui, Leshan Giant Buddha, Mount Emei, Jiuzhaigou and Yangtze River cruise extensions.
Think of it as classic China plus the new Southwest China: we can still arrange Beijing, Shanghai, Xi'an, Guilin, Zhangjiajie, Yunnan and other China tour packages, but Chengdu and Chongqing are where our local advantage is most visible.
