CHINA EXPLORER Education
CET Edu is the educational arm of China Explorer Tour, created to offer meaningful and transformative travel experiences for international families and school communities exploring China. We believe learning should happen beyond classrooms—in forests, on city walls, around village tables, and under the stars.

What Our Travelers Say
Genuine Feedback from our Valued Travelers
My daughter still talks about sleeping in a cave!
We joined the Guizhou family adventure this summer, and it exceeded all expectations. From building bridges to exploring caves and visiting China’s space telescope—every day was filled with hands-on learning. The cave camping night was magical. My daughter made new friends from another continent, and we all danced around a mountain bonfire with the Bouyei people. Truly unforgettable.
A perfect mix of nature, culture, and curiosity
CET’s Guizhou program gave our son something no classroom could offer—real-world science and human connection. The FAST telescope tour sparked his love for astronomy, and the weaving + dyeing workshops let him explore a side of China we didn’t even know existed. Everything felt thoughtfully designed, with lots of small surprises that made each day special.
Terracotta Warriors—and so much more
Xi’an with CET was one of the best days of our entire China trip. Yes, the warriors were incredible, but what made it stand out was the behind-the-scenes storytelling and how they linked everything to our children’s questions. The city wall bike ride at sunset was a perfect end. We learned, laughed, and made beautiful memories.

Beijing & Xi’an: Ancient capitals, Chinese dynasties, Great Wall & Terracotta Warriors

We believe in small group experiences. Most of our family trips and school programs limit group size to 10–16 participants, ensuring every child receives attention, can ask questions, and builds real connections with others.
WIFI is available in hotels. However, sometimes the signal might not be strong. It is recommended to have roaming on or obtain a sim/esim.
