What kind of travel does Landing China offer?
Specialist journeys rather than group tours: medical and wellness care, study programmes, culture and craft experiences, Muslim-friendly and Silk Road heritage journeys, and seasonal experiences such as Harbin's ice festival, and fan journeys to C-drama filming locations and concerts.
Can you book Forbidden City or high-speed train tickets for me?
Yes. We book attraction, museum and train tickets in your name through official channels the moment they are released, at the official price plus a service fee. No one can guarantee a sold-out date, but booking at release gives you the best chance.
Can I book only an airport pick-up or an interpreter?
Yes. Every travel support service can be booked on its own, including for business trips.
Will my phone and apps work in China?
WhatsApp, Google and Instagram do not work on Chinese mobile networks. An international eSIM or roaming usually keeps them working; we set it up with you before departure.
Can my family come with me?
Yes. Every journey is private, and we plan rooms, pacing and meals for families.
