China with Rui
Go Beyond the Usual China Trip.
Curated journeys, wild landscapes and local experiences — from first-time China trips to Yunnan, Tibet and Xinjiang.
Hi, I’m Rui.
I share the places in China I’d actually send my friends to — and help turn those ideas into trips that actually work.
From classic first-time routes to Yunnan, Tibet, Xinjiang and Western Sichuan, I work with trusted local operators, guides and drivers to help you build the right trip.
