You choose the route. ChinaMate packs planning notes, booking guidance and trip-support pointers. Soft email interest — no live checkout.
01 / STORY
Semi-self-guided, explained
Want the freedom of an independent trip without improvising every payment, SIM and station detail alone? Semi-self-guided planning is the middle path: you set the cities and pace; ChinaMate helps you pack the operational layer.
This page is an interest and briefing request — not a live paid checkout, not a licensed tour product page, and not a price list pretending to be bookable inventory.
02 / ORIENTATION
The flow
You choose the route — cities, nights, must-sees, and constraints (budget band, mobility, travel companions).
ChinaMate packs planning — a practical shape for days, plus Pay · Connect · Move checks tied to that route.
Booking guidance — what to book where, which names must match your passport, and what to verify on the provider site before you pay.
Trip support pointers — how to recover when a payment fails, data dies, or a train is missed, using the FAQ matrix and readiness checks.
