Trip Highlights
We Are the First and Only China Tour Operator Who Provides No Shopping Tours!
In tourism market, the commission-based shopping stop has become an unspoken rule in arranging tours. Over 90% of the China tour operators worldwide include shopping stops in their tours in a hidden or exposed manner. Whereas, we, TravelChinaGuide, are the first and only one to break the scammed rules! All our tours are no shopping and only pure sightseeing experiences, but still competitively priced and even lower than most tours.

Taking a shopping tour is not only a waste of time, but a waste of money on those overpriced goods. Usually one or two shopping stops will be arranged each day, and visitors are required to stay at least one hour, then the tour company can get about US$30 kickback per head. China's Instant Tax Refund policy implemented since 2025 aims to directly benefit international tourists by making 'Made in China' goods more affordable. However, for any items bought from these kinds of commission-based shopping stores, the tax savings don't reach your pocket, because such stores won't handle the tax refunds for you - all the money goes to tour companies as high kickbacks.

Do ask the tour operator directly if there are any shopping stops before booking. Most of the competitors do not have any shopping related words in itineraries, but they do have shopping while on the tour. The so called jade factory, tea ceremony and many others are all tricks. They will waste your valuable sightseeing time. Our shopping-free tour can always assure you a trip beyond expectations! ... Read more
