Why China Adventure Club?

China Adventure Club is not an ordinary China tour agent—we are experiential travel specialists who go far beyond standard sightseeing and mass-market, state-owned itineraries. We design off-the-beaten-path journeys that bring you closer to real China: remote Great Wall sections, rural villages, desert frontiers, sacred mountains, and authentic cultural encounters most travelers never see. 

We work around the clock with offices in the United States serving guests across North America, supported by trusted partners in London, Sydney, Canada, and Tokyo, ensuring seamless communication, fast response times, and global support wherever you are. Most importantly, we are a true on-the-ground operator: we carefully select expert guides, prioritize safety and comfort, and customize every detail—so your journey is not just a tour of China, but a deeply personal adventure through its landscapes, history, and living culture. 

TESTIMONIAL

China Adventure Club travel experience

Scott Hanson, American TV Sportscaster. (Toured China in July 2012)

 "I don't often do endorsements, but I am happy to recommend The Great Wall Adventure Club to any and all who are thinking of traveling to China. The company was thorough and professional from first contact until the hour I departed. They routinely went above and beyond the call of duty to make my trip smooth and unforgettable. Joe, my guide, was excellent! Fun, informative, always on time (early, in fact) and a clear communicator. 

If you are browsing for a terrific, trustworthy tour company in China -- look no further. I loved my experience with The Great Wall Adventure Club!"
