What our Clients are Saying

Right from our initial inquiry, to the outstanding communication with Sarah, to local guides who met us at the train stations and airports we were in good hands with the staff at The China Guide. Our family of 7 Canadians spent 3 weeks traveling through China and I can't emphasize enough how we appreciated their support from start to finish. Don't hesitate and let The China Guide work with you to plan an itinerary that is perfect for you. Don W on Tripadvisor

First time bring my kids to China, a home which I left over 28 years ago. My American friend recommended this company to me and they did an fantastic job for our 13 days trip in China. Erick from BeiJing are so knowledgeable and arranged the trip perfectly according to the weather and activities. Betty from XiAn covered all of our activities with very relaxing feeling even though we only have 24 hours in XiAn. This is a totally worry free luxury trip, and gave my kids a great impression on their mommy's homeland. We will definitely use this company again to arrange our next trip to China. J W on Tripadvisor

I've been blessed to travel around the world, and am happy to say that The China Guide is one of the most professional and organized tour companies that I've worked with. John Shors, bestselling author of Unbound

“16 days in China and Cambodia”

Just got back from an amazing 16 days in China and Cambodia. Rebecca set up the perfect itinerary for me and my daughters. The guides were all amazing - especially Joanne in Guilin and Chet in Seim Reap. All of the hotels were great and very well situated. I would recommend TCT to everyone who is planning a trip to China ( and they shuld NOT miss Guilin)

Brazil's central bank director Gabriel Galipolo said on Wednesday that the monetary authority should not get spooked with "short-term" market fluctuations and will need time to understand how recent moves affect its mandates.

Mexico's consumer prices unexpectedly rose in the first half of April, national statistics agency INEGI said on Wednesday, reinforcing bets that the country's central bank will hold its benchmark interest rate at its next policy meeting.

China to send three astronauts to Tiangong space station, part of its ambitious program

China’s space agency is making final preparations to send a new crew to its space station on Thursday as part of its ambitious program that aims to put people on the moon by 2030

JIUQUAN SATELLITE LAUNCH CENTER, China -- China's space agency is making final preparations to send a new crew to its space station on Thursday as part of its ambitious program that aims to put people on the moon by 2030.

The three-member crew of the Shenzhou-18 spacecraft will relieve the current team who have been manning China ’s Tiangong space station since last October.

China built its own space station after being excluded from the International Space Station, largely due to the United States’ concerns over the People’s Liberation Army’s — the Chinese Communist Party’s military arm’s — involvement in the program. This year, the station is slated for two cargo spacecraft missions and two manned spaceflight missions.

In a press conference on Wednesday, the China Manned Space Agency (CMSA) introduced the three astronauts: Commander Ye Guangfu, 43, a veteran astronaut who was part of the Shenzhou-13 mission in 2021; and astronauts Li Cong, 34, and Li Guangsu, 36, who will go to space for the first time.

The Shenzhou-18 crew will spend about six months on the space station. They will conduct scientific tests, install space debris protection equipment on the space station, carry out payload experiments, and popularize science education, among other things, according to Lin Xiqiang, deputy director of the CMSA.

Lin also said China was working toward eventually offering access to its space station to foreign astronauts and space tourists.

“We will accelerate the research and promotion of the participation of foreign astronauts and space tourists in flights with China’s space station,” he said. “We definitely expect to see astronauts of different identities on China’s space station.”

The crew is set for lift-off at 1259 GMT from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center on the edge of the Gobi Desert in the country’s northwest.

China conducted its first manned space mission in 2003, becoming the third country after the former Soviet Union and the U.S. to put a person into space using its own resources.

The U.S. space program is believed to still hold a significant edge over China’s due to its spending, supply chains and capabilities. However, China has broken out in some areas, bringing samples back from the lunar surface for the first time in decades and landing a rover on the less explored far side of the moon.

The U.S. — the only country to have previously put astronauts on the moon — aims to put a crew back on the lunar surface by the end of 2025 as part of a renewed commitment to crewed missions, aided by private sector players such as SpaceX and Blue Origin.

Only four countries, the U.S., Russia, China and India, have landed spacecraft on the moon.
