who we are

We've been in the business since 1959, but our team remains full of vitality. We take your rough tour ideas and help you plan a satisfactory trip. If you want to get inspired, that's what we are here for!

We Reach Every Corner in Shanghai

If you read our travel guide page, you will find that from the popular attractions to the off-the-beaten-path water towns, from the shopping malls to the local markets, from the center of Shanghai to the villages outside the city, you can reach every corner in the Shanghai Area.

All the highlights of Shanghai are of course included in our tour packages, such as the Bund, Oriental Pearl TV Tower, and Former French Concession. We can also help you go the extra mile by taking you to the local flower and bird market, cheongsam shops, museums for stamps, or wherever you are interested.

We assist you in exploring not only Shanghai but also its neighbors. Huangshan City, Suzhou, and Hangzhou are three elite neighbors of Shanghai. They are respectively 4 hours 45 minutes, 30 minutes, and 1 hour 15 minutes away from Shanghai by high-speed train. If you live in Shanghai or stay in Shanghai for over 5 days, the three neighbors are very good options to extend your Shanghai Tour.

We Promise...

In business since 1959, we have trained a professional team of local people.

Our travel advisors are happy to provide you with trip ideas and help you plan a unique trip according to your ideas.

If we deviate from our promise, you will get your money back.

Once we receive your inquiry, one of our travel advisors will keep in touch with you to ensure a worry-free trip from the very beginning to the last minute you finish the tour.

We are proud of the flexible service, and you will have no pressure to buy anything. You have the right to decide.

7 day Beijing trip with China Highlights

We were in Beijing for 7 days and went to the Great Wall, Gubei Watertown, Forbidden City, Summer Palace, Lama Temple, Beihai Park, Confucius Temple, Ming and Qing Tombs. Also went to watch the Acrobatic Show and the Golden Mask Show. The views are fantastic and the shows are amazing. Our tour guide, Colin, from China Highlights was awesome. He planned our itinerary flawlessly and took us to restaurants that served great authentic local food. Colin is very caring of my elderly mother and provided superb service. Thank you, Colin, for making my trip memorable.
