China
Zhangjiajie
The mountains that inspired Avatar are real — and they’re in Hunan, a 6-hour train from Changsha.
WanderEast curates small-group and private journeys across Asia — from the sandstone peaks that inspired Avatar in Zhangjiajie to the golden spires of Bangkok and the lantern-lit river of Hội An.
Every trip we build is end-to-end: airports, hotels, guides, tickets and transfers — so you only think about the wonder.
UNESCO sandstone pillars, the glass bridge and the sky road above the clouds.
The Terracotta Army, the ancient city wall and the birthplace of the Silk Road.
Golden temples, turquoise islands and street-food nights that never end.
Emerald karst bays, lantern-lit streets and coffee at a street-side stool.
Two UNESCO wonders in China, island seas in Thailand and lantern rivers in Vietnam — pick a chapter, or let us stitch them into one journey.

China
Stand before an army frozen for 2,200 years, then ride a bike along the best-preserved city wall in China.
Thailand
Golden temples, emerald island seas and a street-food scene so good you’ll plan meals around it.
Vietnam
Emerald bays dotted with 1,600 karst islands, a lantern town that glows at night, and coffee worth a detour.

We’re a team of licensed guides and trip designers based across China and Southeast Asia. No coach-party crowds, no mystery fees.
English-speaking guides with national licenses and 8+ years on the road — not script readers.
Private journeys are always private; join-in groups cap at 12 so no one waits at the railings.
Family-run hotels, window seats for the night views, and the noodle stalls only locals queue at.
We map your passport to the latest visa-free and e-visa rules, and pre-check every booking document.
A WhatsApp line answered by a real human at 3 a.m. Beijing time — because plans change.
Small-group entries, no animal shows, and local suppliers paid fairly — tourism that gives back.
Rules change often. Here’s where the entry policies stand today; we re-check yours before every booking.
Citizens of 55 eligible countries can stay up to 10 days visa-free when transiting via 65 designated ports across 24 provincial regions — enough for Zhangjiajie + Xi’an.
The Tourist Visa Exemption Scheme lets citizens of 60+ countries and territories enter without a visa for stays of up to 30 days per visit — valid from 15 September 2026.
Citizens of 13 countries enjoy 45-day visa-free stays; everyone else can use the e-visa — 90 days, multiple entry, applied online.
Entry rules depend on your nationality, passport and travel pattern — always confirm with the official embassy or immigration source before you fly. We include a personal eligibility check with every quote.
A few voices from our recent travelers — names shortened at their request.
“The glass bridge had me shaking, but our guide kept me laughing the whole way across. Zhangjiajie at sunrise is the most surreal place I’ve ever been.”
“The Terracotta Army left me speechless. Our guide wove the whole story of Qin Shi Huang’s empire — it turned statues into a film.”
“Hội An at night with floating lanterns was pure magic, and our host found us a tailor who made a dress in 24 hours. Flawless.”
