Why Fifth Timezone Travel
We only do inbound China travel — and we obsess over the things that stress foreign visitors most.
Licensed multilingual guides
Every guide is nationally licensed — English tours with stories, history and humor included; Korean, Russian and other language guides can be arranged. No translation app required.
Visa-free routing experts
We design routes around the 79-nationality visa-free lists and the 240-hour transit rule, so many travelers never visit an embassy.
Alipay & WeChat setup on arrival
Our team helps you link your international card and master Chinese mobile payments before your first dumpling.
Free 24h quote, pay after confirmation
