China. Focused. Tours

Since 2002

Who We Are

ChinaContact was founded in 2002 to offer opportunities to get to know China in deeper ways. We’ve worked side-by-side with business students and religious organizations, environmentalists and interracial adoptees to open the doors and show the real China. Our ChinaContact guests get the best of both worlds – trips to major landmarks such as The Forbidden City and The Great Wall, but also personalized site visits to places and people relevant to their professional interests. We handle the logistics. You do the learning.

What We Value

Our mission is to promote mutual understanding between China and other cultures. What makes us unique is our placement in a long and storied tradition of Jesuit education, one that teaches us that true cultural engagement first starts with friendship. ChinaContact and The Beijing Center provide a unique environment for students from all over the world to begin their engagement with China.

Immersive – Cultural touchpoints and site visits relevant to your industry: embassies, companies, factories, hospitals, and schools, just to name a few
China Educational Focus – We have university faculty for classes and location visits to give important insights
Return on Investment – It’s not a holiday. From getting your board to understand Chinese work culture to enhancing the educational experience for your students, we will help you achieve your learning outcomes.

What We Promise

No Chinese necessary - Take lessons throughout the trip, as a focus of the journey, or not at all: we've got you covered
Complete Educational Tour Package – We plan from wheels down to wheels up and everything in-between
Affordable – We’ll fit your program to your budget and expectations of your team
Flexible – China is your oyster and each trip is customized to the theme of your program
