CET on CGTN: Redefining the Voice of Inbound Tourism

At China Explorer Tour (CET), we have always believed that travel is more than just checking items off a bucket list—it is a bridge to deep understanding. As a premier china travel agency, CET has built its reputation on cultural precision, multilingual expertise, and an unwavering commitment to quality.

Why the World is Watching: The CGTN Feature

China explorer tour on CGTN

We are beyond thrilled to announce that our co-founder, Winnie Chen, was recently invited by CGTN Español to share the CET story with a global audience. For an international traveler, understanding the weight of this feature is key to understanding who we are.

CGTN (China Global Television Network) isn’t just a local station; it is China’s premier international news organization, broadcasting to over 160 countries and regions worldwide. As a flagship media entity operating under the nation’s top media group, CGTN’s editorial standards are incredibly rigorous. They don’t just interview “tour guides”—they seek out thought leaders and pioneers who are moving the needle on cultural exchange.

Being hand-picked for this exclusive feature is a significant milestone that speaks volumes about our credibility. It highlights CET not merely as another travel agency in China, but as a trusted, government-recognized authority.

Beyond the “Classic” Route

During the interview, Winnie highlighted a shift in how international visitors view China. While iconic landmarks in Beijing and Shanghai are a wonderful starting point, CET specializes in the “Second Way” of traveling.

“Our guests come from the US, Spain, Italy, and beyond. They all share a common desire: to step beyond the megacities and truly understand the soul of China.”

Winne shared to CGTN

We take our guests to the misty peaks of Wudang Mountain to learn Tai Chi, to the hidden villages of Guizhou to experience ancient crafts, and into the heart of tradition through tea ceremonies and Hanfu styling. These aren’t just “new spots”—they are immersive experiences meticulously designed to foster human connection.

Changing Perceptions Through Authentic Connection

One of the most rewarding parts of our work is witnessing the “Aha!” moment. Many guests arrive with a certain image of China and leave with an entirely new perspective. They are stunned by the seamless blend of ancient culture and ultra-modern infrastructure, and moved by the warmth of the people they meet.

As Winnie noted on screen, the goal of CET is to move the needle from “I saw China” to “I want to come back—and bring my friends.”

For us, tourism is not a commodity; it is an act of connection and understanding. Being recognized by a prestigious global network like CGTN reinforces our role as cultural ambassadors. We are here to ensure that every journey—whether in English, Spanish, or any other language—is handled with the precision of an expert and the heart of a friend.

China is Waiting: Easier to Visit Than Ever

There has never been a better time to pack your bags. With China’s expanding visa-free policies for many countries, the world’s most fascinating “hidden gem” is now more accessible than ever.

The barriers are gone, and the wonders remain. From the misty peaks of Wudang to the high-tech pulse of our cities, a seamless and life-changing adventure is just a flight away.
