Mobility considerations

Major airports and high-speed stations have improved accessibility, but hutongs, older temples, and rural viewpoints may include steps or uneven stone.

Tell us your equipment and stamina — we route around impossible sections and book guides trained to assist without rushing.

Dietary & medical needs

Allergies, halal, kosher-style, vegetarian, and diabetes-friendly meals require advance notice — we document and share with every restaurant.

We note hospitals near your route and keep emergency contacts in English and Chinese.

Planning with confidence

Accessible travel in China is possible with honest scoping. We prefer to decline an activity rather than promise something the terrain cannot support.

Video calls before booking help us walk through hotels, bathroom layouts, and daily step counts.
