Local cards. Walkable trips.

Real China, from locals.A trip you can walk.

Every place is a card, written and signed by a planner who lives here. InChina drafts only from the cards you pick, then checks every leg against the map, the timetable and the opening hours. What comes out is a trip you can walk: the station, the exit, the line.

Ninety seconds of China.

Why we built this. The back corners, the people, and the kind of trip that makes sense.

FOUR SIDES TO EVERY CARD

Every place is a card.

Four sides to every place: what it is, what makes it worth the detour, what is trending right now, and where to stand for the photo. From a planner who has been.

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 our planners wrote, then builds the trip from those. 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 and signed by people, and kept current.
The cards are the knowledge. The AI just makes them walkable.
From the screen to the platform

From the screen, to the platform.

InChina reads the same sources China runs on: Amap, the rail timetable, flight data. So the plan knows which station, which exit, which line, and which train costs less and still fits the day. Live translation for the moment you have to ask.

Door to platform

Which station, which exit, which line, which bus. Written out, not “head toward the old town.”

The train that exists

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.

ON THE GROUND

When you want a person.

Two ways to get one, both inside the app. One is a day on the ground with a licensed guide; the other is a question answered by a planner who has read your itinerary.

Local guide & car

A licensed English-speaking guide, or a car with a driver, for the days you want one. You see a price range first, confirm in the app, and pay the provider in person.

Ask a planner

A person reads the itinerary you already have and answers. 100 credits for a seat, as many questions as you like, first reply within 24 hours on working days.

the J in you

“I want every day mapped before I land.”

Pick your places and our planner builds a day-by-day trip you can walk: the right train, the station exit, the queue to skip. It all goes to plan, because there is one.
