Traveler Story:
I Came for the Great Wall, but Fell in Love with Spring

"I came to see the Great Wall.

I didn't expect to find spring. 🌸

Endless mountains, ancient stones, and thousands of blooming flowers stretching into the distance.

For a moment, it felt like walking through a painting.

The Great Wall was already on my bucket list.

Seeing it surrounded by blossoms made it unforgettable."

— Emily, Australia

Answers to Your Travel Questions

Yes, we provide comprehensive visa support. Depending on your nationality and travel purpose, we can issue the necessary invitation letters (for business or tourism) required for your visa application. We also guide you through the online application process to ensure a smooth approval.

Note: China currently has a unilateral visa-free policy for dozens of countries. Please refer to the latest official announcements from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for the specific list. For the latest visa requirements and visa-free entry policies for your country, please contact our travel experts.

Absolutely. Unlike fixed group tours, Sonnetrip specializes in bespoke experiences. You can tell us your interests—whether it's history, food, nature, or business—and our travel designers will craft a private itinerary tailored specifically to your pace and preferences.

We accept major international credit cards (Visa, MasterCard, Amex), PayPal, and bank wire transfers. All transactions are secured with SSL encryption to ensure your financial data is safe. For large corporate bookings, we can also issue an invoice.

Yes, language is never a barrier with us. We work with a network of professional, licensed local guides who are fluent in English (and other languages upon request). Our private drivers are also experienced in navigating local traffic and ensuring your comfort.

We understand travel plans can change. Our cancellation policy is flexible and clearly outlined in your booking confirmation. Generally, modifications made well in advance are free of charge, while cancellations closer to the date may incur fees based on non-refundable vendor costs (like hotels or flights).

For travel during peak seasons, such as Chinese winter and summer vacations and statutory holidays like the Spring Festival, there may be shortages of attraction tickets, hotel rooms, and non-English speaking guides. To ensure availability when booking during these times, a deposit may be required. Please communicate with your dedicated travel planner for specific details.

Major international credit cards work at high-end hotels, malls and scenic spots. We can help you set up mobile payment in advance, and our on-trip guide will assist with all payment issues throughout your journey.
