Welcome to China
Since most of our customers travel to Korea via China, it is an excellent opportunity to explore the "Middle Kingdom" (the country's name in Chinese). China is one of the World's oldest and largest civilizations, with fascinating history and society that is so different from the western. If you travel to China for the first time, you may want to book accommodation and sightseeing in advance. This page contains our short programs in Beijing and surrounding areas but we can organize trips and sightseeing throughout China, some examples are Xian, Shanghai, Tibet, Yangtze cruises, trips to Sanya etc.

Shopping in China. China is a shoppers' paradise where one can purchase luxury goods at a very modest price. If you shop at the factory, you save even more. Therefore, we organise visits to pearl farms, embroidery factories, etc., where you will see the production process and then shop at the factory outlet. When you see the thousands of unique products available for sale, you will be surprised by both the high quality of merchandise and the creativity of Chinese artisans. There is of course no obligations to buy anything.
CHINESE VISA. Most nationalities need a visa to enter China and to get a Chinese visa your passport should be valid at least 6 months after your intended departure from China. For a trip to North Korea via China tourists usually need a Chinese visa for 2 entries.
NOTE ! It is possible to get a Chinese visa at the PRC Embassy in Pyongyang during your tour in North Korea (the approx. visa cost in Pyongyang is 60 Euros).
