Begin with priorities, not a checklist
Share the experiences you care about most, your preferred hotel style, walking comfort and how much free time you enjoy. This helps shape a route with realistic travel days and the right balance of guidance and independence.
Build in meaningful contrast
A rewarding China journey often combines major historical places with a different rhythm: a landscape region, food-focused city, countryside stay or smaller neighbourhood experience.
Leave room to adjust
Private travel is valuable because timing, activities and pacing can change. Review the first proposal as a starting point and refine it with your travel designer until the route feels genuinely personal.
