We are a Zhangjiajie-based private China tour team, helping international travellers design flexible, personal trips with genuine local insight, signature photography experiences and smooth logistics right across China.
Why a Zhangjiajie-based team matters
Many China tour companies sell Zhangjiajie from offices hundreds or thousands of kilometres away in Beijing or Shanghai, then hand your trip to whichever local subcontractor is cheapest. We are the opposite. Our team of around 80 local guides, drivers, photographers and trip designers actually lives here, beneath the Avatar mountains. We know the trail that is empty at sunrise, the photographer who catches the best light, and the Miao village that is still genuinely authentic rather than a stage set.
What makes us different
- 100% private and tailor-made – your own guide, driver and itinerary, never a group of strangers
- English-speaking local guides with real depth in western Hunan history and heritage
- A reply within 2 hours – we turn your enquiry into a custom itinerary fast
- No forced shopping and no hidden commissions – your time and money stay yours
- Signature Hanfu and Miao photography – step into a real-life Avatar and xianxia world
- 24/7 support while you travel, from a licensed local operator
Where we take you

The people who will actually guide you
On a China Fantasy Travel trip you are not handed to whoever a far-away office subcontracted that morning. Your guide is one of our own local team, and the way we choose them is a big part of why our trips feel different.
- Local first. Our guides grew up in or near Zhangjiajie. They know the trail that is empty at sunrise and the village that is still real.
- English-speaking only. We do not dilute our standard by promising every language. Our guides speak natural English and can genuinely talk with you about history, food and culture, not recite a script.
- With us for years, not days. We work with the same guides trip after trip, so we know exactly what your day will feel like.
- A friend, not a salesperson. No commissions, no shopping stops. Their only job is to make your trip wonderful.
We are building a page of guide profiles with real photos and stories. In the meantime, tell us about your trip and we will introduce you to the guide who fits it best.
