China Travel Guides & Curated Tours — by Ruqin
Welcome to Ruqin China Travel. I’m Ruqin, based in Beijing, and I created this site to share what I have learned from decades of helping international visitors travel around China — and from continuing to explore the country myself.
Here you’ll find practical China travel guides shaped by real experience, along with my own observations, photographs, and journeys on the ground.
Start with my Beijing Experiences, where I share a more personal side of the city I call home. I walk Beijing’s neighborhoods and old streets, photograph everyday life, and report on places I have recently visited through Beijing Photo Walks, Beijing Photography, and Beijing Field Reports.
For travel beyond Beijing, my China Destination Guides cover cities, regions, and places across the country, while the China Trip Planner helps you put a journey together. You’ll also find practical advice in my China Survival Guide and carefully selected China Tours.
My China Cultural Insights offer some background to the history, traditions, food, architecture, and everyday culture you may encounter along the way.
Ruqin China Travel is not about covering every corner of China or producing more travel information for its own sake. I want to share what I know, what I have experienced, and what I continue to see for myself — so you can understand China a little better and plan your own journey with useful information from someone who is here.
