About James

I’m James, and I was born and raised among Zhangjiajie’s “Avatar” mountains. The landscapes that bring travellers here from around the world are the ones I grew up with.

I’ve been helping international visitors explore China since 2018. Today, I run TX China Tours with my team. My experience in planning trips and looking after guests spans Zhangjiajie, Beijing, Xi’an, Chengdu, Chongqing, Shanghai and beyond. From choosing sights and places to stay to coordinating travel between cities, I help make each part of your journey fit together smoothly.

For me, planning a great trip starts with getting to know the people taking it.

For example, if three generations of a family wanted to visit Beijing, Xi’an and Zhangjiajie, I’d first ask how much walking the grandparents feel comfortable with, what the children enjoy, and what everyone is most looking forward to. Then I’d plan each day with a balance of sightseeing and time to rest. If time is limited, I’d explain what fits comfortably and what might be worth leaving out, helping the family keep the experiences that matter most while making the trip enjoyable for everyone.

Whether you’re spending a few days in Zhangjiajie or exploring several cities across China, we’ll offer advice based on your interests, schedule and budget. Every itinerary on our website is a starting point, ready to be adapted to your travel dates, group size and preferred pace.

Tell us what you have in mind for your China trip. My team and I will help bring the details together.
