Explore Jeremy’s unforgettable 11-day journey with China Explorer Tour, from Beijing to Inner Mongolia and an unexpected detour to Chongqing. A China private tour done right!
When Experience Meets Exploration
For seasoned traveler Jeremy, China was no stranger. With several visits under his belt, he thought he knew what to expect. Yet, when he signed up for an 11-day China private tour with China Explorer Tour, little did he know it would completely reshape his understanding of what a curated travel experience could be.
From the moment he touched down in Beijing to the surprise highlights in Chongqing, Jeremy’s journey was packed with expert planning, unexpected gems, and the kind of personalized attention that only a top-tier private tour operator could provide.
Why Choose a China Private Tour When You Already Know China?
“I’ve been to China before. I love the country,” Jeremy shares. “But this time, I wanted to go deeper—not just revisit the places I knew, but experience them differently. I needed a team that could handle everything, from logistics to storytelling.”
That’s where China Explorer Tour came in. Known for its custom-designed cultural itineraries, CET doesn’t just arrange transportation and hotels—it curates journeys.
When you need it to be the greatest best experience on earth 🌍 or just the peace ✌️ of mind that everything will be taken care of—this is the group for you.

From Beijing to Chifeng: History, Nature, and Local Life
The trip kicked off in Beijing, China’s capital steeped in imperial history. But instead of sticking to the standard Great Wall and Forbidden City combo, CET’s guides added layers of context—insider knowledge, local legends, and small cultural touches that transformed each site into a living story.
Next came Inner Mongolia’s Chifeng, a stunning destination rarely found on mainstream travel lists. There, Jeremy explored sweeping grasslands and pristine nature, immersing himself in a completely different side of China.
“Chifeng was incredible—peaceful, spiritual, and untouched. But the real surprise came next,” Jeremy says.
The Game-Changer: An Unplanned Detour to Chongqing
Originally, Chongqing wasn’t even on Jeremy’s radar.
“I hadn’t even considered it,” he admits. “But the CET team suggested it during our pre-trip consultation, and I thought—why not? I trust them.”
What followed was a revelation.
🔥 A City That Defies Expectations
Located in southwest China, Chongqing is often called the “Mountain City” or “Foggy City.” But Jeremy quickly learned that these nicknames only scratch the surface.
“Chongqing blew my mind. The vibe, the skyline, the food—it was so alive! I honestly don’t know why more people don’t talk about it.”

With CET’s local guides leading the way, Jeremy dove into local hot pot culture, explored the historic Ciqikou ancient town, and even took in the surreal architecture of the Raffles City Skybridge.
Wulong Karst: Nature’s Masterpiece
Yet the most awe-inspiring moment of the trip wasn’t in the city—it was in Wulong, a nearby district famed for its karst formations and cinematic landscapes (yes, Transformers 4 was filmed there!).
Jeremy recalls the moment he stepped into Three Natural Bridges National Park:
“It was jaw-dropping. Photos don’t do it justice. The sheer size, the feeling of walking through stone arches made by time itself—it’s a spiritual experience.”
Wulong’s beauty cemented the decision to trust CET’s recommendations and is now his personal highlight of the entire tour.
Why China Explorer Tour Stands Out
So what makes China Explorer Tour different from other agencies?
Jeremy explains it best:
“From start to finish, they offer you an experience of a lifetime. The level of professionalism is beyond description.”
Whether it was door-to-door service, bilingual expert guides, or unexpected upgrades, every step of the journey was smooth, enjoyable, and eye-opening.
Jeremy adds:
“There is absolutely no going wrong when you choose China Explorer Tour.”
Jeremy’s story is proof that even seasoned travelers can be surprised by China’s diversity and the depth of experiences still waiting to be uncovered. With the right team, every journey becomes more than just a trip—it becomes a transformational adventure.
