Unforgettable Journeys Through the World of Chinese Literature

Discover timeless classics, ancient poems, and literary masterpieces. Our expert guides ensure every moment is filled with authentic experiences, connecting you deeply with the rich history and cultural depth of Chinese literature.

Our tours offer a deep dive into the world of Chinese literature, blending visits to historical literary sites, immersion in classical texts, and exploration of the lives of iconic writers. We collaborate with literary scholars and cultural experts to provide an authentic experience that connects you with the rich history of Chinese literature, from the philosophical works of Confucius to the poetry of the Tang and Song dynasties.

Absolutely! We can tailor your itinerary to explore literary landmarks, ancient libraries, and the homes of famous writers. Whether you wish to visit the hometowns of poets like Li Bai and Du Fu, or explore the classical texts of Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism, we’ll design a tour that brings Chinese literature to life through both historical context and literary exploration.

Our tours include visits to iconic literary sites such as the Dufu Thatched Cottage in Chengdu, the Sima Qian Memorial in Hancheng, and the Li Bai Memorial in Jiangyou. You’ll also have the chance to participate in readings of classical poetry, attend literary workshops, and hear stories about the great philosophers, poets, and writers who shaped Chinese culture. We provide an enriching experience that connects you to both ancient and modern Chinese literary traditions.

We select guides who are passionate about Chinese literature and are often scholars or literature professors with deep knowledge of Chinese classics. Many of our guides are well-versed in works such as the I Ching, Dream of the Red Chamber, and Journey to the West, and they are able to offer in-depth commentary on these texts, as well as guide you through literary landscapes and tell the stories of the authors who created them.

We recommend booking your tour 3–6 months in advance, particularly if you wish to coincide your visit with literary festivals or national holidays that celebrate Chinese culture, such as the Mid-Autumn Festival or the Spring Festival. These are prime times to experience literary readings, author meet-and-greets, and special events focused on Chinese literary heritage. Early planning allows you to access exclusive events and special exhibitions dedicated to classic works of Chinese literature.
