Your Wellbeing Is Our Priority
24/7 Support

Your own experienced travel expert will always be available to help you with any questions, so you can feel confident and safe before traveling.
They'll be up to date on local regulations and restrictions and can guide you through your travel process as smoothly as possible.
Personal Tour Guides
Your private tour guides will be there for you exclusively throughout the whole trip.
With their local knowledge, support from our local offices, and new health and safety training, they are responsible for keeping you safe and happy while enjoying the highlights of your journey.
Distancing and Hygiene Protocols
Vaccinated Guides and Drivers
All of our guides and drivers have been inoculated with COVID-19 vaccines.
我们的导游和司机receive training in the guidelines established by the leading health experts, including theWorld Health Organization (WHO),World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC),United States Tour Operators Association (USTOA), to minimize any coronavirus exposure during your journey.
Apart from daily health and temperature monitoring, our guides and drivers will wear masks wherever physical distancing is not possible. They will also wash their hands or use hand sanitizer frequently.
Physical Distancing
Private touring with China Highlights means there will be only you and your family/friends during the whole journey, accompanied by your personal guides and drivers.
There will be no busloads of strangers. Big jostling tourist groups will be avoided for your peace of mind. Physical distancing will be practiced wherever we go.
Supply of Medical Masks and Hand Sanitizers
我们将准备医用外科口罩,手sanitizers, and wet wipes in your private vehicles. Your guides will also carry these protective items with them during the tour.
Wearing a mask is highly suggested in vehicles, indoor spaces, and any outdoor spaces where physical distancing is not possible.
Private Rides
In our spacious private vehicles with comfortable seats and air conditioning, we have enhanced the cleaning and sanitization for every arrival, departure, and transfer (with a focus on high-frequency touchpoints, such as door handles, seats, safety belts, and any other places you might touch.)
Hotels with Style and Safety
All our hotels are carefully selected for their brands, locations, service, and customer feedback. We also recommend high-quality boutique hotels with one-of-a-kind style and fewer guests, so that you can make a better connection with the destination.
We work continuously with our hotel partners to further up their health, safety, and cleanliness procedures, including daily cleaning and disinfecting of surface areas in your room. No staff will enter your room after it has been cleaned, and there is increased frequency of cleaning public areas.
Food with Flavor and Assurance
Since our beginnings in 1998, we have always arranged restaurants with an authentic flavor, local features, and a nice dining ambiance for our customers.
With the pandemic, we've been working closely with our restaurant partners to ensure they are meeting safety and cleanliness standards with their staff training, food preparation, and delivery. Food handlers will be wearing masks at all times.
Whenever possible, you will have a private table or even a private room to enjoy the meal and allow for physical distancing.
Sometimes, we might even grab a bite or enjoy a meal outside in picturesque natural scenery.
Your Trip is Perfectly Planned
Play Hide and Seek with the Crowds!
Crowds have never been our thing, as they can spoil the exclusive and exciting travel experiences on our private journeys. Now we have more reason to avoid them.
When visiting popular attractions, we will buy the tickets online in advance (wherever possible), so that you can skip the lines. Your personal guide will also adjust the route and timing flexibly to beat the crowds.
To further avoid the crowds, we usually choose to present the highlights differently. When the touristy groups are crowded on a Li River cruise or a shuttle bus around Jade Dragon Mountain, our customers are enjoying a bird-eye view of Li River or peacefully hiking at the foot of the mountain. We believe this is a better and more sustainable way to make a connection with the destinations you visit.
Fresh Insights into Local Culture and New China
Travel is a chance to open up your mind to our world and introduce new perspectives on life.
Travel is about listening. Listen to the stories local people tell you about their cultures. Let's make a sincere human connection at a safe distance and create greater cultural understanding in this increasingly complex world.
Although China is still a developing country, it has the largest population. The GDP of China ranked No. 2 in the world as of 2020, and the GDP growth rate remains higher than the US's.
What are China's secrets of development? Let's find out from its cutting-edge drones, a hotpot restaurant served by robots, and Alibaba’s no-cash empire. Find outmore.
Unlock Your Hidden Menu
If you are looking for a vanilla tour with a common itinerary, China Highlights might not be the best choice for you. We are passionate about helping you realize your dreams that may not even be about traveling! We have put so much energy into developing and enhancing travel experiences that inspire.
Your unique travel reasons and desires should be the real highlight of your private journey, so please tell us if you would like to present a Panda Volunteer Program as a birthday gift to your child, or prepare a romantic proposal on the Great Wall… We will make it come true.

Incredible views and a very grounding experience
Guilin is a stunning place and so incredibly lovely to visit. While it's a little more geared towards western tourists than other parts of China, I'm still really glad we visited with China highlights, as it was super helpful to have a private driver- Guilin is a big place and a bit of a drive if you want to get out of the tourist area. Our guide Gary was the nicest human being you could ever hope to meet, full of knowledge and very open about sharing his life experiences as a local and of the local ethnic minority - we learned so much from him. We traveled to some nearby villages to visit some local farmers and partake in some very authentic experiences at a wet market - certainly not something we would have tried (or navigated) on our own, but we're so glad to have experienced it! We were also booked at a lovely hotel in Guilin, with what I can say is an absolutely unbeatable view- not a hotel I would have chosen for myself., but very glad to have experienced it! more

Unforgettable trip to Guilin
我们享受了一个令人难以置信的两天旅行在桂林,taking a brief half-day boat cruise on the Li River and cycling around Yangshuo in the afternoon with our guide Gary. Gary met us at the airport and made us feel very welcome, providing us with five-star service. He gave us a lot of insight about Guilin and the Guangxi region and even gave us a tai chi lesson on the boat. He provided us excellent dining suggestions for the evening as well as suggestions of things to do. Thank you Gary for making our trip to Guilin so memorable! more

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
We were paired with great guides on every city, very knowleadgeble and hardworking people that made our trip fabulous. Jack in Beijing was brilliant and very resourceful making sure we enjoyed the city even when he wasn't with us. In Xi'An we were paired with Crystal that was incredibly smart and made sure we felt we had not only a guide but a friend to rely on in Xi'An, we loved how she made sure we tried the best food and fruit available and helped us from arrival to departure from Xi'An. Finally, kudos to Gary (Wei Li) that worked with us in Guiling and Yangshuo. Gary is a local to Guiling and truly proud of his city and origins. We learned a lot from him and he trully went above and beyond to ensure we had a great time in Guiling adjusting the itinerary to our liking and taking time to explain everything. On our flight out of Guiling we had a bit of an issue with our tickets (booked by ourselves) and Gary promptly lent a hand to help us sort it out with the airport staff, trully a champion. If you are heading to Guiling with Chinahighlights, make sure to have Gary as your guide. more

Another excellent trip with China Highlights
Another wonderful four-day section of our tailor-made three week China Highlights trip, this time in the region around Guilin, Yangshuo and in the Longji rice terraces with our friendly guide Chase. The 4-hour Li river cruise on a 4-star boat, the bamboo rafting - which our guide kindly got us by queueing from 4am onwards - hike to Moon Hill, bicycle river trip and Liu San Jie light show were all excellent, so was the Yangshuo Mountain Retreat hotel. The hike in the Longji rice terraces from Ping’an to another village, bamboo rice cooking experience and Baike Boutique Hotel with its great views were also all wonderful. We wished we could have stayed longer! more

Séjour inoubliable dans la région de Guilin avec China highlight et la guide Alice. Choix d’activités surprenantes où nous avons été comblés à plusieurs reprises : grotte de la fl?te de roseau, visite des marchés ou des lieux importants de Guilin ou Yangshuo, spectacle à couper le souffle, visite d’une maison ancestrale de paysans, rizières et visite dans une maison pour faire un repas transitionnel, etc. Tout était super ! Même les enfants ont adorés ! Les choix de logements étaient aussi super ! La chaufffeure qui nous conduisait d’un point à l’autre était aussi bien gentille et patiente ! Expérience et souvenirs gravés dans notre c?ur ! Merci ! 11/10 more

Guilin and Yangshou - well worth a trip!
Both Guilin with its amazing rice paddies and Yangshou with the Karst landscape are scenically stunning and a must see in China. Gary our tour guide from China Highlights is incredibly passionate about his role as tour guide and does everything possible to ensure your time in Guilin and Yangshou is memorable. From Guilin we went to see the famous rice paddy fields and spent a day walking through the paddy fields and eating a fantastic lunch in a local restaurant. In the evening we went on a foodie tour of Guilin which was very well worth it and we ate some very local food we would never have tried on our own. We then spent two days in Yangshou. The scenery here is just stunning and there are lots of different ways you can enjoy it. Gary took us up a particular mountain, off the beaten track, that meant we had the view really all to ourselves - absolutely stunning. But the rafting down the rived, cycle ride and the sidecar rides were also great fun. Thank you Gary for making our time in Guilin and Yangshou very memorable more

Superb tailored tour in exquisite place!
We were treated to the most amazing, full, tailor-made, unique & personalised tour of Guilin & Yangshuo over 4 days.. Our excellent guide Vincent went the extra mile to give us the best experience and included local, personalised activities & adventures, hidden gems off the beaten track! We had the best time, using every minute tfor both 'wow" & 'local' experiences and with helpful advice always. His helper Karpo was also amazing & helped us a lot, as did our driver Mr Tan. It all flowed effortlessly for us, while they were working hard behind the scenes! ..and also to meet our every need. We are so grateful. Thank you for showing us the best of Guilin & Yangshuo, & for looking after us so well, while also avoiding the crowds in high season. more

Beautiful scenery and great experience!
Visiting Yangshou County in Guilin was the most scenic and beautiful part of our 2 week trip in China. Chase from China Highlights was our guide. He was friendly, funny and very personable in our time in Guilin. He had great recommendations for us to try at the hotel and would go out of his way to make sure our wants and needs were met. He knows the area of Yangshou very well and truly made the culture of the area come to life. more

Had an amazing time in Guilin and…
Had an amazing time in Guilin and Yangshou. Everything was well organized and the places we visited were beyond beautiful. Our tour guide, Chase, was very humble, helpful and knowledgeable. He also speaks English very well so we didn’t have trouble in communicating. I did an amazing wedding shoot in Yangshou and Chase was kind enough to take photos and videos. I definitely recommend this service to friends wanting to visit China and will definitely recommend asking the company for Chase to be your tour guide. more

Amazing experience
Me and my husband took a trip to Guilin and Yangshou and it was for sure amazing! I had a pleasant experience with Highlights in China. The tour Guide Chase was super kind and helpful and very knowledgeable about China. He made the trip easygoing I forgot about the language barrier because he was automatically translating without us even asking. The attractions we went to were magnificent and getting to places was just way easier with a driver picking us up and taking us to far away places. I definitely recommend it to anyone coming from abroad to visit China more

Wonderful 3 days in Longji/Guilin/Yangshou with guide Vincent
My wife in and spent 3 delightful days in the area, including an overnight in the Longji Rice terraces and a cruise on the Li river. We had laid out our preferences and all the arrangement had been made by China Highlights: guide, car, hotels and the cruise. I appreciate their willingness to ability to tailor the time to our priorities, and our guide Vincent, also was happy to adapt the schedule to our interests on the fly. Vincent is an outstanding guide and was an important part of the success. In addition to being knowledgeable and flexible, he is also very personable - critical when someone is joining your vacation for 3 days. He ably helped find and arranged for vegetarian food and took additional photos that he shared with us. I highly recommend both China Highlights and Vincent. more

Best Tour of Guilin
My family and I went to Guilin over the summer, and we had a wonderful experience. We went to see the Longsheng Rice Terraces and on a cruise to see the landscape of Guilin. Our guide Chase was able to make the tour more enjoyable, with his knowledge and his patience. He went out of his way to make sure we got the most out of our trip. I recommend this trip to anyone who wants to enjoy Guilin to the upmost, but doesn’t want to have the hassle of touring with a big group of strangers. Thank you Chase!! more

Perfectly organized trip to Guilin
我们花了三天的时间在桂林和阳朔。这次旅行was great! China Highlights booked everything for us so we didn’t have to worry. The accommodations were clean and comfortable and the activities were exactly what we were looking for. Our guide, Chase, was excellent. He spoke fluent English and was friendly, knowledgeable, efficient, very willing to accommodate our requests and pleasant to be around. He was the perfect balance of being warm and helpful while giving us space to have our own trip. more
