About this series
Not every trip to China follows the standard itinerary. Some travelers come for the tea — tracing Longjing, Oolong, and Pu'er from plantation to cup. Others come for the tech — factory tours, robot encounters, AI labs. Some want hidden cities beyond the Big Five, or multi-week routes that cover half the country.
These guides are for travelers who've already done the basics, or who never wanted the basics in the first place.
