China Adventure Tours

Some people who have lived in busy cities for a long time are tired of the hustle and bustle of life and are eager to find a quiet and magical place to experience the fun of adventure. Accordingly, many countries have opened adventure tours. Such as Thailand's elephant riding adventure tour, Denmark's dog sledding adventure tour, etc. Another kind of adventure travel is for the purpose of the pursuit of world records, such as traveling around the world by hot air balloon, driving a pedal plane or glider to fly across the strait, driving a yacht or boat around the world, taking a canoe across the Atlantic Ocean, etc. And scientific research also could be the main purpose of adventure tours, such as alpine adventure tours, desert adventure tours, marine adventure tours, forest adventure tours, cave adventure tours, polar adventure tours, and wildlife adventure tours.

Our adventure tour is a tourist activity that includes sports activities, cultural exchange, and exploration of nature. The adventure tour is about being physically active while being exposed to a new culture or landscape, not just adventuring or pushing your boundaries. In fact, it's especially important to know your limits when you're in an unfamiliar place. If you are a thrill-seeker, we have enough adventure travel activities for you. If our activities don't meet your needs, hopefully, our activities will provide you with some ideas for your next trip.

Experiencing a new place by hiking is a great option. Hiking allows you to slow down, get close to nature and enjoy your surroundings. For most people who love the outdoors, hiking during the day is a great option. Many hikers believe that in this vast land of China, there are always places that are difficult to travel to by vehicle. Hiking is the only way to enjoy the scenery you can't see from a car. For example, you can hike with us through the lesser-known Three Gorges route, cross 400 miles of the Three Gorges, and enjoy the beautiful scenery of red maples.

If you don't want to be bound by tour groups but are overwhelmed by unfamiliar places; if you can only go out on holidays and don't want to be overcrowded everywhere you go; if you are more adventurous and have the right equipment, then you can join backpacking. Backpacking allows you to stay in nature longer and see more than the usual hiking trips or tours. Of course, it is important to have the proper survival knowledge and equipment. If you don't have any backpacking experience before, then you should definitely find someone with experience to join you.

Rock climbing is a classic example of adventure activity. It combines physical activity and allows you to appreciate the beauty of nature. Even if you have never climbed before, you can still climb a wall of rock with the help of a guide. Another option is to try indoor rock climbing. Many cities have climbing gyms, so you can easily have some adventure!

Roosevelt famously said that the only thing that scares us is fear itself. If you like extreme sports, you probably want to experience bungee jumping and sky diving. Bungee jumping and skydiving are very typical adventure activities, but they may not be for everyone. The biggest point of difference between sky diving and bungee jumping is the height of the movement. One takes place at over 4,000 meters in the air and one stops at 100 meters in height. Although both are doing free fall movement, the main sensory experience it gives is more weightlessness because of the short distance of the bungee experience. Many people who have played bungee jumping will find it very exciting because bungee jumping is short and the feeling of weightlessness accompanies the whole experience. While skydiving gives people a sense of the experience of gliding plus floating, and the feeling of zero contact with the sky.

Rafting along a cool river on a hot summer day is a great way to explore a new place. You can experience the excitement of battling rapids, or you can sit back and enjoy the tranquil views of the river. The best season for rafting usually depends on the area you are in and the level of adventure you want. For example, you can experience bamboo rafting in July and August at the Yulong River.

Cycling is a great way to exercise and get closer to nature. You can go farther along the trails and see more of the surrounding area. Of course, many cities have opened many parks for cyclists to ride. For example, Pujiang Country Park. This suburban park contains a 4km riverfront viewing path as well as a 26km countryside bike path and a 22km half marathon path. The public can choose to explore the different routes on foot or by bike. If you are a cycling enthusiast, Pujiang Country Park is undoubtedly the best place for cycling.

You may not realize that your annual family ski trip can also count as adventure travel. Skiing is a very challenging sport. It is not only a good exercise in winter but also a very technical job that requires a lot of balance and coordination. If you want to improve your balance and coordination, skiing is a pretty good choice. If you do not have the proper training, wilderness skiing is very dangerous, so try to choose a good ski resort. When trying skiing for the first time, consider hiring an instructor.

Yes, you need a visa to travel to mainland China. You can consult your local Chinese Embassy. If you have any questions that you do not understand, you are welcome to email us at any time.

You don't have to pay a tip at hotels and restaurants. However, if you are very satisfied with their service, you can tip about 5%. Tips are usually required for tour guides and drivers during your trip in China, and you can also tip according to your satisfaction level.

Currently, most public places, such as airports, restaurants, and shopping malls offer free wifi. However, the internet speed in public places will be slow. Internet access is also available in your hotel or on a cruise ship. But in China, many foreign websites are blocked, such as Facebook and Twitter. The remote area may not have wifi and need to use your cell phone data.

You can use your cell phone in China if you have international roaming. If you think the cost of international roaming is expensive, you can choose to buy a local SIM card at the airport or hotel, which will be cheaper. Currently, there is a signal in both large and small cities, but in mountainous or very remote areas there may be no cell phone signal.

In most public toilets, there are two types: Western-style toilets and Chinese squatting toilets. In hotels there are usually western style toilets. Chinese toilets can be a little difficult for foreign tourists to get used to. If you go to a public toilet, it is recommended to bring your own toilet paper.

Please do not drink the tap water. The water from the hose is not direct drinking water and needs to be boiled in a hot water kettle before drinking. You can also buy bottled drinking water or purified water from a water dispenser. We will have bottled water available for you every day during your trip.

In big, busy cities such as Beijing and Shanghai, you can use your credit card in hotels or shopping malls. But in small restaurants or stores, you cannot use credit cards. ATMs can be found anywhere in airports, hotels, and most cities. However, we recommend that you exchange some RMB before you leave for a rainy day.
