Q: Do I need a visa to visit mainland China?

In most of the cases, you will need a visa to visit mainland China. We recommend that you consult the Chinese Embassy in your own country to check what is required in plenty of time before departure. You will also need a passport which is valid for six months after your intended date of return.

We cannot accept liability if you are refused entry onto a flight or into the country.

Q: Can you help me with the visa application?

Yes, certainly. We are happy to provide all the necessary documents for your visa application. Please email hello [at] chinauxtour [dot] com (change [at] to @ and [dot] to . ) if you need help with the application.

Q: Which companies are we going to visit?

In previous tours, we visited some of China’s biggest IT names such as Baidu, Tencent, Alibaba and Lenovo; national companies such as China Telecom and China mobile, and China CITIC Bank. We also visited design agencies and start-ups, as well as academic institutions. In addition to Chinese organisations, we also visited Western companies in China, such as Honeywell and R/GA.

We will announce this year’s hosting companies nearer the date. Please follow our Facebook page for the latest information and announcement.

Q: Will there be any changes to the companies we visit?

Once they have been confirmed we will make every effort to ensure that we visit the companies named in the schedules. However, we reserve the right to change one or more of these should issues arise outside our control. You will receive a detailed itinerary nearer the time, though it is possible that we may have to make changes at short notice.

Q: How do I contact you to ask questions not answered here?

Please email hello [at] chinauxtour [dot] com (change [at] to @ and [dot] to . ) with any questions you may have. We will aim to reply to you within 48 hours of receiving them. You can also follow us on Facebook and Twitter for the latest information about the tour.

Q: What do I have to prepare before the trip?

Q: Can I bring my family to the tour?

Absolutely! We believe family is an integral part of our life, business and culture. This is an experience tour, not just one of observation. One of our previous guests commented: ”Empathy is important. If you don’t make feelings personal, it’s just some kind of sympathy.” And we agree with him. So if it’s your first time going to China and you want your family to experience what you experience, bring them with you for a full immersion in our culture and way of being!
