Description: Our main function is to connect visitors with local Chinese families through an all-inclusive, Homestay & cultural exchange program in China. We cater to students, travelers, professionals, groups, and families alike, and handle each case individually so that our clients know exactly what they're getting into before they come.

In addition to arranging local accommodation, we also have the ability to arrange language classes, guided tours, cultural activities & events, personal drivers and translators, and much more. Furthermore, thanks to our ties with a few local charitable organizations, we are now able to connect the volunteer-minded traveler with the organization of his/her choice.

Finally, because of our partnership between a Chinese citizen and an American traveler, our clients can enjoy the local experience and perspective without the frustration of being 'lost in translation'. In short, whether you want to experience the culture, learn the language, help someone in need, or simply make new friends during your trip to China, we are here to make sure that your experience is as memorable and hassle-free as possible.
