The Forbidden City Corner Tower in Beijing reflected in its moat

Independent China trips, planned around real people

A China trip that actually fits you.

Choose every place you genuinely want, add your nights and preferred pace, then see where the time fits—or conflicts. Nothing is removed, and the same brief goes to a human planner if you contact us.

  • No budget required to see your result
  • No contact details before your result
  • Every place you select stays on your wishlist

Beijing · The Forbidden City Corner Tower

What personal planning changes

A realistic route needs more than a list of cities.

The first result only checks destination stay time. Human planning then tests transport, entry and exit cities, dates and the details that make the trip work.

What gets added after the route

A transfer day that still feels like part of the trip

Example format, not a fixed package
Move
Beijing → Zhangjiajie, with enough buffer for the actual flight or rail connection.
Base
A base chosen around park access, walking load and the next departure.
Energy
No full park day is forced onto the arrival day.
Still to confirm
Flight or train time, park entrance, luggage support and the actual arrival point.

The studio

One planning thread, clear handoffs.

Homeground is a coordinated China trip-planning studio. One planning thread holds the route and written brief; suitable local services are checked only after the real travel details are clear.

  1. 01

    One planner owns the brief

    Your priorities and open questions stay in one place instead of being restarted at every handoff.

  2. 02

    Specialists join where useful

    Team members and local partners enter for the cities and services their knowledge actually covers.

  3. 03

    Responsibility stays explicit

    Before confirmation, the written scope should show who plans, who delivers and what remains outside it.

What to know next

The questions that change the decision.

The first check finds the useful conflict; a person handles the decisions.

Is this a group tour?

No fixed group package is required. We plan for solo travellers, couples, families, friends and private groups, then shape the route around that party.

What happens after I request a planner review?

A planner receives the same wishlist, nights, party, pace and priorities you entered. We then check dates, arrival and departure points, transport, walking needs and non-negotiables before detailed planning or a quote.

Who actually delivers the trip?

Homeground shapes the journey, then checks suitable local delivery after the real details are clear. Before anything is confirmed, the service scope and delivery partner should be clear in writing.

Can you plan for children, parents or limited mobility?

Yes. Walking distance, stairs, early starts, room setup, food needs and recovery time are planning inputs—not small notes added at the end.

What if flights or a few cities are already booked?

Keep them. When we reply, tell us the fixed airports, dates and must-visit places; the automatic result does not pretend to solve the final order.
