How can We help you?
Launched April 2026
China is one of the most rewarding countries in the world to travel - and one of the least forgiving if you arrive unprepared. The apps don't work the same way. The maps are different. The payment systems require setup before you land. And nobody warns you about any of it.
This kit covers everything you need to know and do before you arrive, so your first days in China are spent exploring, not troubleshooting.
Launched April 2026
Chongqing is not just another Chinese city. It's one of the most distinct, layered, and genuinely surprising places you'll ever visit - a mountain city built by river workers, shaped by war, and recently discovered by the rest of the world through a viral video of a metro passing through an apartment building.
This guide goes beyond the highlights reel. It's built on months of local research, dozens of traveler interviews, and a lifetime of growing up here; written for the curious traveler who wants to experience the city the way locals actually live it.
Walk Chongqing With a Local
Four hours through the parts of the city most visitors never find.
Chongqing is a city best understood on foot. The hills, the staircases, the neighborhoods stacked on top of each other, none of it makes sense from a map. It only clicks when you're in it.
We walk through old residential lanes, hillside temples, forgotten industrial corridors, markets where locals actually shop. The places you'd only find if someone who grew up here showed you.
