Private journeys across China
YO PATH CHINA
Immersive, handcrafted journeys across China's cities, landscapes, and living culture - planned from our home base in Chengdu and Chongqing.
National Geographic Best of the World 2027: Chengdu, the only Chinese city on the list.
Chengdu ranks among the most-searched Chinese cities by overseas travelers.
Based in Chengdu & Chongqing
The real China, shared person to person
We are an inbound travel studio based in Chengdu and Chongqing, planning journeys across all of China. The best way to know a place, we believe, is through its people: a calligrapher's steady hand, a chef's morning market run, a tea master's quiet pour.
Every journey is private and made to measure for guests from Singapore, Taiwan, and Malaysia, and increasingly from the Americas, Europe, and Australia.
