China

We run private tours in China with a car and driver, city by city. China is the region where a private vehicle changes the trip most: the distances between the places worth seeing are long, and public transport rarely goes where the scenery is.

Regions we cover

  • Yunnan — Kunming, Dali, Lijiang and Shangri-La, including the mountain routes.
  • Xinjiang — the northern grasslands and lakes, and the southern Silk Road towns.
  • Guangxi — Guilin, the Li River and the Longji terraces.
  • Chongqing — the karst valleys and the old river towns.

Practical points

Driving times in China are often underestimated, so we build the day plan from measured road times rather than from distances on a map. Hotel choice matters more than in Europe, because a good base shortens every following day.

Tell us your dates and group, and we will suggest a route with realistic pacing. Planning is free.

What this collection covers

This collection is for private tours in China by car and driver, city by city. It covers regions where long distances between places worth seeing make a private vehicle especially useful: Yunnan, including Kunming, Dali, Lijiang and Shangri-La and the mountain routes; Xinjiang, including the northern grasslands and lakes and the southern Silk Road towns; Guangxi, including Guilin, the Li River and the Longji terraces; and Chongqing, including the karst valleys and old river towns. The collection is built around measured road times rather than distances on a map, and around bases chosen to shorten each following day.

Frequently asked questions

Which season should I plan for?

The collection does not set a season. The regions differ: Yunnan includes mountain routes, Xinjiang includes northern grasslands and lakes, Guangxi includes the Li River and Longji terraces, and Chongqing includes karst valleys. The route and day plan are built from measured road times, so the season is agreed before the route is fixed.

How many days should I allow?

The page does not give a fixed number of days. Because distances between the places worth seeing are long and driving times are often underestimated, the day plan is built from measured road times rather than from distances on a map. The number of days therefore follows the route agreed, city by city.

How do I travel between places?

By private car and driver, city by city. Public transport rarely goes where the scenery is, and the distances between the places worth seeing are long. Day plans use measured road times rather than distances on a map.
