Experience China with a local, not a guidebook. Learn mahjong at a neighborhood table. Fold dumplings in a Beijing family's kitchen. Sit down to a Hanfu palace banquet in Xi'an. Train a morning of kung fu with a working teacher. Eat your way through a Chengdu night market with someone who actually eats there. REAL HOSTS, NOT LISTINGS Every experience is run by a local host we have met in person. Small groups, English-friendly, free cancellation up to 24 hours ahead. You are booking a person's afternoon, not a coach tour. AN AI TRIP MANAGER THAT KNOWS CHINA China is easy to visit now - visa-free for many passports - and hard to get right. The Forbidden City is closed on Mondays. Half the good places need a reservation days ahead, through a Chinese app you cannot sign up for. Tell CNTripGuide where you are going and how long you have, in your own language. In seconds you get a day-by-day plan, and every stop is checked against a continuously maintained library of Chinese-language local sources: opening hours, closure days, advance-booking windows, realistic timings. IT CATCHES THE PITFALLS BEFORE THEY CATCH YOU Not vague advice. Specific, checkable warnings: - "The Forbidden City is closed Mondays; move it to Tuesday." - "Book Mogao Caves 7 days ahead." - "Day 3 has four sights across the city; you will not make it." Already have an itinerary? Paste it in. CNTripGuide diagnoses it, flags what will break, and rebuilds it into a schedule that actually works. EVERY DEADLINE BECOMES A TO-DO Reservations that must be made days in advance become a booking checklist, ordered by what sells out first. Tick them off as you go. THE WHOLE TRIP ON ONE MAP Every stop and every booked experience on a single map, so you can see at a glance when a day is spread too thin. NO ACCOUNT NEEDED Planning is free and there is nothing to sign up for. Just ask. Available in English, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, French, German, Malay and Vietnamese. Experiences are real-world services delivered in person by local hosts in China.
