CHINA TOURS
China is a country of extraordinary culinary diversity and hidden gems waiting far beyond the well-trodden tourist circuits. While millions flock to Beijing's forbidden city and Shanghai's skyline, we're drawn to the smoky tea houses of Fujian's mountains, the fermented bean paste workshops of Sichuan's countryside, and the night markets of cities you haven’t thought to explore but you will never forget.
From the fiery complexity of authentic Hunanese cuisine to watching master brewers craft thousand-year-old rice wines using techniques passed down through generations, China rewards the curious traveller with experiences that simply can't be found in guidebooks. Our tours will take you to places where locals are genuinely surprised to see foreign faces, and where the food tells stories of tradition, innovation, and regional pride that will completely reshape how you think about Chinese cuisine and the country itself.
