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 Whirlwind Visit to Xi’an

Oct 2026 • Couples

Our quick visit to Xi’an with Nancy was amazing! We covered so much in 1.5 days her endurance to cover everything we wanted to see was impressive. We learned so much with her at the Terra-Cotta Warriors Museum and all the sights. We felt very well taken care of and our driver was entertaining with his singing.

Our tour to Xi’an with Kobe was amazing. Xi’an is a wonderful city with so much to see and experience, beautiful sights, amazing food (thanks to Kobe’s recommendatios), so much history and wonderful people. We had some free time and we wanted to visit Daxingshan Temple and see a show in Xi’an and Kobe helped us with arrangements and recommendations again. We had wonderful time in Xi’an and with China Tours, they made the whole experience smooth and worry free for us.

Oct 2026 • Couples

We spent a couple of days in Xi’an with our tour guide Kobe. He was really amazing, from picking us up at the airport in the arrival to taking us to amazing places throughout the city. Kobe is very fun and entertaining, always having a really interesting fun fact to share or an incredible food recommendation to try. I had the best noodles of my life thanks to him. Thanks for the amazing time here!

Tripadvisor score What a great trip…

Sept 2026

What an amazing holiday! Just completed the 14-Day Beijing-Xi’an-Chongqing-Yangtze River-Zhangjiajie-Shanghai Tour. We were travelling with my two children and older parents in-law who have mobility issues so ChinaTours organised a private tour for us. Was a little nervous at first as they didn't have a physical shop (in Australia) that I could go to but am so happy with the result. Communication was great and everything happened exactly as they said it would. Their guides were amazing, so friendly, relaxed and flexible. Just great people with all inside knowledge about when to go to avoid the crowds! We went for the upgraded accommodation and travel option and I was glad I did, the rooms and amenities (such as gym and sauna) were just the thing I needed after a day of sight-seeing. I must say that I was a bit worried that the kids would never want to go home! Thank you Michael, Dong, Kelly, Jennie and Kelly for the amazing memories!
