Setup

Send me your China itinerary and I will tell you what will break

Skip the tourist traps. Send your draft itinerary and I'll show you exactly where it falls apart.

Planning a trip to China? Forget the tourist traps — let's talk logistics. Send me your draft itinerary, and I'll identify exactly where it's likely to fall apart.

I specialize in the "boots-on-the-ground" reality of China travel. I analyze if your route is geographically logical, verify if your train connections have realistic buffer times, and ensure your hotels are actually accessible. Most importantly, I'll set up a payment contingency plan that doesn't rely on the luck of a foreign credit card working at the checkout counter.

We maintain practical briefing notes for global first-time China travelers, addressing the setup blind spots we see every day. Using official government sources, I translate complex entry regulations into simple, actionable checklists.
