We’re real people who love showing China to the world

Mr. Li
ChinaTours.com Founder

We think the ChinaTours.com story is special.

ChinaTours.com founder, Mr Li has had the travel bug all his life. You could say travel is in his DNA. But it’s not just any travel. It’s travel that allows people from different cultures to connect and understand each other better.

An innovator and creative thinker, Mr Li was one of the first tour operators in China to introduce Western adventurers to China’s rich culture and history. Running inbound tours, he has brought people from all over the world and helped them experience China.

As Chinese people gained the freedom to travel, Mr Li brought Chinese tourists to Australia and other western countries. As a result of creating strong cross-cultural connections, Mr Li’s company was awarded numerous tourism awards, both in China and internationally.

Now having lived as a Chinese expatriate, Mr Li has continued his work. Under the banner of ChinaTours.com, Mr Li is sharing what he does best: the ability to design and create quality tours for discerning travelers seeking unique and authentic travel experiences.

Actively overseeing every aspect of business operations with his wife, Mrs Li, who is also an experienced travel guide, he personally selects ChinaTours.com accommodation, cruise and transport partners, demanding the highest standard of professionalism from all. He regularly makes changes to the selection of providers based on their commitment to service and customers’ experience.

His vision for ChinaTours.com is to be the most trusted tour provider in China for Western travelers. Through his experience as a business owner and international traveler himself, Mr Li brings you his unique insights of China that allow his guests to experience and see the real China.

Tripadvisor score Chinatours Beijing with Linda Sun

March 2025

So far our experience with Chinatours has been excellent. Starting with the communication by email with Lora, to the time we spent with Linda (our local guide in Beijing).

Traveling to a country where the culture and language are so different from what we are accustomed to can be unnerving, but so far Linda, Lora, and our driver in Beijing, Mr Zhou, have kept us informed, put us at ease and made our visit as comfortable as possible.

Excellent tour guide that was very knowledgeable and courteous. Communication with the agent was smooth and responsive. I recommend to upgrade the hotels as you will get to stay at the Pig's Inn, which was a real highlight.

It has been a very pleasant trip to Chengdu, albeit my first visit to the city. The guide, Robert and the driver had exhibited exemplary services during this period. Very professional and detailed in introducing the sites visited. Look forward to visiting the city again.
