Setting a Standard for Authentic Experiential Travel in China.
We showcase China's most unique and captivating travel destinations and experiences.
Eastogo is a travel company built by China travel experts and passionate explorers. Deeply rooted in authentic, experiential and wildlife expeditions across China, we design journeys you won’t find anywhere else on the market. Our mission is to set the benchmark for experience-driven, culturally immersive travel in China.
With a team in which half are dedicated Product Managers, we spend years on the ground in every province, uncovering the most genuine local encounters and crafting them into meaningful travel experiences.
Whether you dream of tracking elusive snow leopards across the vast Tibetan Plateau, learning meditation in a secluded cave where Tibetan lamas have practiced for centuries, spending a day living as a nomad, exploring the art and history of the four major schools of Tibetan Buddhism, diving into Shanghai’s electric nightlife, volunteering with giant pandas in Chengdu, or trekking around the sacred Mount Kailash, we make it happen.
Connecting the World with the Real China and Its 5,000 Years of Heritage
From hitchhiking across China with foreign travellers to bringing guests into traditional Tibetan weddings, Eastogo is built on one simple belief: that the most meaningful journeys are those where real human connections happen.
We are, and always will be, an idealistic company — driven by experience, guided by product thinking, and committed to creating travel that is truly experiential and authentic.
China has only recently emerged as a major travel destination, and for many people, the country is still reduced to pandas, the Great Wall, and the Terracotta Army.
We are here to guide you far beyond the familiar, to the sacred and mysterious lands of Tibet, the culturally diverse valleys of Yunnan, the cave worlds of Guizhou, the ancient wooden architecture of Shanxi, and the snow leopard realms of Qinghai.
We aim to help travellers discover not only China’s iconic highlights, but also its lesser-known treasures: hidden villages, sacred mountains, remote grasslands, living traditions, and stories passed from one generation to the next.
Through immersive, thoughtfully crafted journeys, we connect people with the real China — a place of depth, contrast, and wonder. Because it’s not just about where you go, but how you experience it, and who you meet along the way.
Everyone at Eastogo shares the same philosophy: a genuine love for travel and a commitment to creating the best possible experience for every guest who journeys from afar.
Our experts bring deep on-the-ground knowledge, years of field experience, and an unwavering passion for exploration. Whether you’re seeking cultural immersion, wilderness adventure, or once-in-a-lifetime encounters, our team is dedicated to crafting China expeditions you will remember forever.

She excels at blending natural landscapes, Tibetan culture, and comfortable pacing, designing trips that feel both adventurous and reassuring.
To Serena, a great western China journey should bring travelers closer to the land: understanding local culture, feeling the stillness and vastness of the mountains, and moving at an easy, enjoyable rhythm.
Born and raised in Chengdu, she heads to Western Sichuan whenever she has the chance; it has become almost a second home. She knows its mountain roads and highland villages by heart, and she always knows where to find the softest light, the widest grasslands, and the most authentic expressions of Tibetan life.
