Customize Your Trip to the Real China

Hi, my name is Charlie Chen

My brief biography

I have worked in the tourism industry for more than 10 years and traveled most parts of China by discovering the new and revisiting the old. I always meet the locals to get first-hand knowledge, and have visited hundreds of villages, hotels, guesthouses, restaurants and attractions across the nation. All these experiences help me to inform my clients of lesser-known but valuable information, work out any possible problem, and ultimately provide a wonderful experience in China.

I know firsthand that it is not easy to meet the needs of all tourists. However, I am here to listen, share my thoughts, discuss, and find out the possible best travel solution for you.

My travel expertise

I understand that many of you make your way to China for intense and authentic experiences and a deep insight into China’s daily life and hidden gems. To provide this, I have constructed hundreds of unique itineraries to meet different personalized requirements.

Travel with me, and you can trek along the remains of the wild Great Wall in Beijing, ride along China’s most popular biking routes, discover the off-the-beaten-track destinations along the Silk Road, explore the lesser-known Guizhou province, visit the numerous ethnic minority villages hidden in the Karst mountains, and so much more!

My travel story

Given its vast land and long history, China enjoys a wonderfully diverse culture and geography. I have left my footprints in the countless towns and villages of Yunnan and Guizhou Provinces of Southwest China. The trips to the Ethnic areas of Guizhou are hauntingly beautiful and unforgettable. What impressed me most was the night I stayed at the guesthouse of Tiger Leaping Gorge. After a tough day trekking and conquering the fabulous 28 Bends, I found true rest and peace of body and mind. Across the gorge, the snow-capped mountains stood out like arrows against a soft, fading sunset.

If you are planning a tour to China, I would be very glad to be of service to you!

What My Clients Say

It is for me a pleasure to answer you. The group were very satisfied and I cannot find in my mind anything, what could be a subject of complaint. All the guides were perfect and doing their best - especially I am not planning next tour to China in the year 2020, but in the year 2021 I would like to make a tour to Jün nan province and it will be a pleasure for me to cooperate with your agency again. >> read more

Our trip to China was fantastic, enjoyable and enthralling. Our China experience was much more than we expected. Our first contact with ETC was Charlie and he, as the chief organiser was perfect. Charlie's assistance with planning and organising could not have been better. Thanks to Charlie every aspect of our holiday exceeded our expectations. >> read more

We have now come to the end of what has been a magnificent tour of China! We have to say thank you for making our trip so enjoyable. Last night's Beijing Duck dinner and today's visit the Great Wall in brilliant sunshine - where a spectacular way to say goodbye to China. >> read more

I must admit that the tour was much better than I expected. The tour consultant worked tirelessly to help me. I was traveling with two kids so your services were a convenience that I truly appreciated. I've always dreamed of seeing The Great Wall. Thanks for making my experience one I will always remember. >> read more
