The World’s Great Driving Journeys
Hello!
A journey trough China by private car is the best way to explore the most beautiful regions of China.
Invisible air that places the distant mountains into the palm of your hand. Unspoiled smiles splashed across dark-brown, weather-beaten faces. The warm glow of red lanterns. Sapphire-blue skies, snow-white peaks, temples daubed in red, purple and gold. And the road before you unfolding, turn after turn in the direction of mythical Shangri-La.
On occasion, seemingly irreconcilable differences can suddenly be resolved: adventure and reason, action and relaxation, individuality and conviviality, thoughtfulness and good fun – these contradictions dissolve during the driving holidays of On the Road in China. The apparent gulf between, on the one hand, the excitement of individualized travel focused on cultural insights and the safety (and comfort) of perfect organization readily disappears. And you will get to know China and its cultural diversity in a way that goes far beyond mere ‘sight-seeing’: you will join hiking and horse-riding excursions and visits to remote temples and monasteries; you will stay some times in hotels and occasionally in private homes; you’ll be able to relax in local night clubs or when you go shopping in picturesque villages, to name but a few of the elements of our tours that will show you a China that only few have yet seen.
We want for you nothing less than that every moment lasts. And that is why we believe that cars and driving are the best way to get to know a country. Without the constraints of large groups and without worrying about logistical details – from your Chinese driving license and comprehensive insurance to an experienced driver if you’d rather sit back and relax rather than drive, we arrange it all for you – driving journeys give you the freedom to go to places that are otherwise near impossible to reach. And so your journey becomes a pleasant adventure which takes you on open roads through the spectacular cultural, scenic and culinary landscapes of South-West China.
We believe that you would be thrilled by a holiday of this kind. People like you who enjoy adventure and want to travel off-the-beaten track, but don’t want to give up all comfort; people like you who shun mass tourism, but don’t want to sacrifice relaxation because everything is improvised; people like you who are as much at home on winding mountain roads as you are on broad, straight highways; someone like you who longs to be immersed into the worlds that you have chosen to discover.
On the Road in China: Your Driving Holiday of a Life Time!
