About Us: Your Gateway to Authentic Chinese Travel

“Discover China’s hidden treasures, one story at a time.”

Founder’s Note: ChinaTourHub

Hi, I’m ChinaTourHub, a lifelong traveler, cultural enthusiast, and proud advocate for China’s rich heritage. With over 10 years of exploring every province—from the ancient streets of Xi’an to the misty peaks of Zhangjiajie—I’ve dedicated my career to curating experiences that go beyond tourist hotspots. My journey began as a backpacker documenting rural festivals in Yunnan and evolved into a mission to share China’s soul: its people, traditions, and untouched landscapes. When I’m not hiking the Great Wall or sipping tea with Hakka farmers, I’m mentoring a global team of travel experts to ensure every guide on this site reflects the heart of China.

Our Mission & Vision

Mission: Empower travelers to connect deeply with China through honest, insider-driven content. We reject cookie-cutter itineraries—instead, we spotlight sustainable tourism, local communities, and off-the-beaten-path gems.
Vision: Become the world’s most trusted platform for meaningful China travel, bridging cultures by celebrating diversity (from Uyghur markets in Kashgar to Miao silver craftsmanship in Guizhou) while protecting the environment and supporting ethical tourism.

Meet Our Team: Passionate Storytellers & Locals

Our team is a blend of:

 

  • Cultural Anthropologists (e.g., Li Wei, Yunnan-born, specializing in minority villages)
  • Adventure Experts (e.g., Maya Chen, Everest base camp trek leader)
  • Digital Nomads (e.g., Marco Rossi, Italian expat documenting Shanghai’s art scene)
  • Local Contributors (50+ writers from 23 provinces, sharing hometown secrets)

 

Why we stand out:
✅ No sponsored content—all recommendations are independently vetted.
✅ Sustainability focus (e.g., “Eco-Travel Awards” for eco-friendly homestays).
✅ Multilingual support (English, Mandarin, Spanish, French—coming soon!).
