China trip planning — locked before you fly.

Visa-free rules are easier than they look on paper, and harder in practice. We turn your dates, passport, and route into a day-by-day plan, an entry-route checklist, and exact ticket instructions — written by a team that runs these streets every week. Want to see the format first? Read our sample 3-day Shanghai itinerary.

What you get

Day-by-day itinerary

Each day: where to be, which metro line, the booking window for tickets that need one, and a realistic time budget — not a wish list of four attractions per day.

Entry route checklist

Does your passport qualify for 240-hour visa-free transit or unilateral visa-free entry? Does your onward ticket count? Which port? One written conclusion per question, with the source named.

Ticket & booking list

Train numbers, times, stations, seat class, and step-by-step how to buy each one yourself on the official English channel. You keep every reservation in your own name.

Who it fits

Two groups get the most out of this. Overseas Chinese visiting family: the plan is built around the reason you're coming — the parents, the apartment, the hospital appointment — not a generic tourist loop. Travelers using the 240-hour visa-free transit: the entry checklist comes first, because a route that doesn't qualify is a problem at the boarding gate, not at the border.

How it works

Send your basics

Dates, passport country, route in and out, who's traveling, and what the trip is for.

We build the plan

Usually 3–5 business days depending on trip length. You get a PDF-style document, plain English.

Two rounds of edits

Included. Routes shift, so we adjust the plan until it fits.

You book and fly

All purchases are yours to make, in your own name, with our instructions next to each step.

What this service is not

We don't book, we don't pay on your behalf, and we don't hold your passport details — every reservation stays in your name and your control, so a schedule change is your problem to fix cheaply, not a dispute with us. This is a document service, not guiding: we won't accompany you (that requires a licensed guide), and we don't offer 24-hour support while you travel — each plan states its included Q&A window. And because entry rules change often, every plan carries the same line: re-confirm the visa-free rules with your airline within two weeks of departure.

Common questions

Do you book the trains and hotels for me?

No. We prepare the plan: which train, which station, which booking window, and exactly how to buy it yourself on the official channel. You make the purchases in your own name — that keeps your money and your reservation under your control.

Can you tell me if I qualify for visa-free entry?

We check your route against the published rules — 240-hour visa-free transit or unilateral visa-free entry — and give you a written checklist with the source for each point. Rules change often, so every plan tells you to re-confirm with your airline shortly before departure.

Will you guide us around Shanghai in person?

No. This is a document service — you get the plan before you fly. If you need something handled on the ground in Shanghai, our errand service covers package receiving, bill payment, and local runs.

When do you fly?

Send your dates and route. We'll confirm the plan scope and timeline the same business day.
