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.
