It was a pleasure to welcome Lisa and Lucy from China Travel Services into the xtravel office recently, updating some of our team on their fantastic range of private tailor-made journeys and small group tours throughout China.

China is such a rich and rewarding destination — from ancient history and incredible landscapes to vibrant cities, cuisine, culture, and warm hospitality. For travellers who would love to experience China with expert guidance, seamless arrangements, and trusted local support, CTS offers a wonderful range of options.

We especially loved hearing more about the flexibility of their private itineraries, as well as their small group touring options for those who enjoy travelling with others while still having everything beautifully organised.

A big thank you to Lisa for sharing her time and expertise with us — we always value the opportunity to keep learning, so we can help our clients travel with confidence.

POV: You’re drifting through Beijing’s hidden hutongs… 🚲
Not the tourist version — the real local life.

From quiet alleyway mornings with locals chatting over tea,
to the vibrant chaos of silk markets bursting with color —
this is Beijing beyond the postcards.

✨ This is where culture lives.
✨ This is where stories begin.

The eternal debate 👀

🏛️ BEIJING says: I have the Forbidden City. The Great Wall. Tiananmen. The Temple of Heaven. I am the soul of China.

🏺 XI'AN says: I have 3,000 years on you. 8,000 terracotta warriors, the ancient city walls, and the world's best lamb skewers.

Honest answer? You need BOTH.

That's exactly why our Discovery Beijing–Xi'an tour was designed the way it was — 10 days, the perfect combination of imperial grandeur and ancient wonder.

Which city calls to you more? Beijing 🏛️ or Xi'an 🏺?
