The China you won'tfind in a guidebook.
Every place is a card, written and signed by a planner who lives in China. The hidden and the headline, how locals actually do it, kept fresh with what's trending. When you're ready, turn any card into a trip you can actually walk. iPhone now, Android next.
WATCH
Ninety seconds of China.
Why we built this. The back corners, the people, the kind of trip that actually makes sense.
WRITTEN BY PEOPLE WHO LIVE HERE
Every place is a card.
Written and signed by a planner who lives in the place, not scraped and averaged from reviews. Four sides to every card: what it is, what makes it special, what's trending, and the photo spot.
01OverviewWhat the place is, in a planner's own words.
02What makes it specialThe angle you won't get from a plain listing.

The people behind every card.
Every card is written by a planner who lives in the place, then signed by hand. Not a faceless content team, not an algorithm averaging reviews. Meet a few of them.
Alex Chu
An outdoor travel enthusiast with ten years of solo travel experience.
Lena Zhou
Chengdu local. Eight years on Sichuan's back roads, tells you what tour buses skip.
Marcus Yang
Hikes 30+ places on foot. Tells you which "old towns" are real and which are rebuilt.
Ivy Chen
Between Dali and Guilin, chasing light and weather. Honest about crowds and hype.
Xiangqun Li
Beijing native, museum-trained guide. Knows the North and the Silk Road, minus the fluff.
WHY WE'RE DIFFERENT
A generic tool guesses. We start from the cards.
Most travel tools pull from the open web and average it out. InChina starts from cards real planners wrote, then turns them into a trip. Same question, very different answer.
GENERIC AI & OLD GUIDEBOOKS
Invents a place, then it falls apart at the station.
The same top five every guidebook recycles.
Ten rounds of chat for a plan you still can't use.
"Day 1: explore the old town."
Scraped and averaged from the open web.
BUILT FROM PLANNER CARDS
Every card written by a planner who lives here.
Hidden and headline, side by side.
Show it a card. No back-and-forth.
Out Exit B2, Line 2, and what to tell the driver.
Written, signed, and kept current by real people.
So the trip is built from those cards.
Start from real cards
Every trip begins with the planner-written cards you swiped, saved, or searched, each signed by the person who wrote it.
InChina drafts the trip
The AI builds a day-by-day plan from those cards, not from scraped search results. So your trip inherits a local's picks and the order that makes a day flow.
Checked against the real world
Real maps, trains, and opening hours. You edit freely, it never argues back, and the whole plan works offline.
From the screen to the platform
From the screen, to the platform.
InChina plugs into the tools China actually runs on, Amap, the rail network, flight data, so the plan knows the real world. Which station, which exit, which line. The train that costs less and still fits the day. Step by step the whole way, with live translation when you need to ask.
Door to platform
Which station, which exit, which line, which bus. Written out, not “head toward the old town.”
The real train, not a made-up one
Times and fares come from the rail and flight networks. No high-speed trains that don't exist.
One app, not five
Maps, tickets, transit, and translation all back the plan, so you're not switching apps just to tell a driver where you're going.
Know before you go
Closed Mondays, passport needed at the gate, peak-season crowds, flagged before you're standing there.
Show it, don't chat it
You don't want a chat. You want the plan.
No prompts to write, no ten-round back-and-forth with a bot. Give InChina what you already have, and it takes it from there.
