About zhangjiajietravelchina — China's Premier Private Tour Specialist

Our Story

Lynx Travel was founded in 2014 in Zhangjiajie — the mist-shrouded peaks that inspired Avatar — with a simple belief: foreign travelers to China deserve better than the bus-tour status quo.

Most tour operators take your booking, then pass you to whoever is cheapest that week. The guide is a stranger to the company. The vehicle is rented. The quality is anyone's guess.

We built a different model: one contract, one coordinator, and a licensed local partner agency in every city we serve. You book with one company. One person answers for your trip, start to finish.

The Numbers That Matter

  • 500,000+ travelers served since 2014 — from solo explorers to multi-generational families

  • Operating across China's most demanding destinations

  • 11 destination cities, each with its own licensed local partner agency holding inbound-tourism authorization

  • 1 company that answers for your trip — Zhangjiajie Zhongteng International Travel Agency Co., Ltd., Permit No. L-HUN-100749

Every number above is verifiable. Ask us for the paperwork — we send it the same day.

How Your Trip Actually Runs

  • One contract — your booking is issued under a formal travel contract with our licensed company

  • One coordinator — from your first email to your flight home, one person stays responsible for your trip

  • Licensed local operations — in each city, ground operations (guides, drivers, hotels, tickets, permits) are run by a licensed local partner agency working to our itineraries and quality standards

  • Full transparency — your booking confirmation states the name and contact details of the licensed agency operating in each city, as required by Chinese tourism law

  • No resale chains — you are never passed between anonymous subcontractors

Where We Operate

  • Zhangjiajie — our home base. The Avatar mountains, Tianmen Mountain, the Grand Canyon glass bridge

  • Beijing — the Great Wall, the Forbidden City, the hutongs

  • Xi'an — the Terracotta Warriors and the Muslim Quarter before the crowds arrive

  • Chongqing — the mountain city, the hotpot capital, the gateway to the Three Gorges

  • Chengdu — pandas, teahouses, and the gateway to western Sichuan

  • Guilin & Yangshuo — the karst landscapes of the Li River

  • Guiyang — the waterfalls and minority villages of Guizhou

  • Urumqi & Xinjiang — Kanas Lake, the Duku Highway, the Silk Road

  • Shanghai — the Bund, water towns, and the arrival gateway for the Yangtze Delta

  • Guangzhou — Cantonese cuisine, the Canton Fair city, and the gateway to the Greater Bay Area

  • Lhasa & Tibet — permits, altitude, logistics — handled through our licensed Lhasa partner agency (Permit No. L-XZ-100055)

What Sets Us Apart

  • One contract, one coordinator — you always know who is responsible

  • Licensed at every step — our own permit plus a vetted network of licensed local agencies (see Our License)

  • English-speaking guides — selected, trained, and briefed to our standard. They tell the story, not recite facts

  • No shopping stops — not hidden ones, not "optional" ones, none. If a stop is on your itinerary, it is because you asked for it

  • No hidden fees — the quote you receive lists every expense. If it is not listed, it is not charged

  • Safety-first operations — private vehicles with vetted drivers, guides trained in altitude-sickness recognition and emergency response, satellite communication in remote areas

Who We Serve

  • Europe — British, German, French, Spanish travelers who value depth over speed: the backstreets, the conversations, the context

  • North America — American and Canadian travelers who expect reliability, clear communication, and no surprises — in English, 24/7

  • Southeast Asia — Singaporean, Malaysian, and Thai travelers who often journey as multi-generational families, with vehicles and pacing sized for it

For Travel Agencies

Lynx Travel also operates as a China ground partner (DMC) for international travel agencies: itinerary design, English-speaking guides, vehicles, hotel contracting, and permit handling. If you sell China and need an operator who answers fast, write to us.
