Sailing through unique landscapes

One of the must-do experiences of a trip to China is undoubtedly sailing on the Le River. You travel about 80 km and the duration is about 3 - 4 hours. A very beautiful cruise for the landscapes you pass through. The river flows through very characteristic stretches due to the unique shape of the karst hills. Occasionally, you can also spot a small waterfall. A very interesting route!!

Shanghai to Shangri-La

Trip organized very well according to our wishes. Yocky was really good at putting together all the places we wanted to visit, even off the usual routes. Maximum willingness to change certain timings during travel. Tour operator highly recommended.

Wonderful family holiday to China! 🇨🇳

A wonderful 2 week tour with our family (6 adults) through Beijing, Xian, Chengdu, Zhangjiajie, Guilin, Hong Kong. Rebecca was great at Top China Travel, she gave us plenty of ideas and was flexible with what we wanted to do. It was fantastic to be on a private tour as gave us flexibility to travel at our own pace. Our guides were so knowledgeable, thanks to Bill, Helen, Cherry, Richard, Lisa & Ken! Each time we arrived in a city they were there waiting and always made sure we left on time. They also recommended other activities. Thanks for sharing your beautiful country with us, we will always treasure China, it was fantastic!

Really perfect!

We organized this 12-day tour from Italy directly with joyce the assistant we were assigned Everything went perfectly. The management and visits planned for each day, the choice of hotels both for location and quality, the restaurants and guides, which although with sometimes not perfect English, were always very helpful and courteous. I highly recommend to bypass the Italian agencies and also save quite a bit!

China Wonderful

Beautiful trip! We arrived in Beijing then in Xian by fast train and then in Guilin and Shang hai by domestic flight. We realized a dream by seeing beautiful places studied in school books. Perfect organization, excellent central hotels that allowed you to explore the surrounding areas on your own living the life of the Chinese. The guides supported us in the various check ins (hotels, trains, planes) as the English language is not very widespread. The guides and have been drivers very prepared and attentive to our needs and curiosity. Thanks to top china travel.
