Our story

Built here. Planned around you.

NihaoRoam began with a simple idea: visitors should experience China through people, not just lists of landmarks. From our base in Chengdu, we work with trusted local partners across the country to design journeys that connect famous places with everyday life.

We listen before we plan. That means understanding why you are traveling, who you are traveling with, and what kind of moments you hope to remember.

A good itinerary shows you China. A personal journey helps you feel part of it.

How we work

One idea, four people on your side.

Your journey is shaped by a coordinated team, not passed between disconnected suppliers.

  1. Your travel designer

    Listens to your interests, dates, pace, and budget, then creates one coherent plan.

  2. Your local storyteller

    Turns history, food, and daily life into conversations you will remember.

  3. Your private driver

    Keeps each day comfortable, flexible, and free from group-tour timetables.

  4. Your support team

    Stays connected behind the scenes and helps when plans need to change.

Meet the people

Travel designers who know China, and take time to know you.

The people who shape your journey should be easy to get to know. Meet the travel designers currently featured at NihaoRoam.
