    Deep Cultural Immersion

    Insider Access, Not Tourist Routes. We don't stand behind the ropes. We take you backstage. From entering ancestral halls to learning directly from non-heritage masters, you will participate in rituals that are usually closed to the public. This is 5,000 years of history, experienced firsthand.

    Uncompromised Comfort

    Adventure by Day, Luxury by Night. Capturing content is hard work; your journey shouldn't be. We provide a "bubble of comfort" amidst the festival chaos: private executive transport, 5-star accommodation, and curated dining. We handle the logistics so you can focus on the experience.

    The Creator’s Lens

    Your Story, Your Perspective. This is not a passive tour; it is a creative mission. We invest in your eye. Whether you are a vlogger, a photographer, or a writer, we give you the platform and the context to document the Chinese New Year in a way the world has never seen before.

  • THE 9 IMMERSIVE EXPERIENCES

    Don't just watch history. Participate and Perform it..

    Buy Luck in Cantonese

    Task: Without a guide, use your budget to buy a "Lucky Item" (like a windmill or doll). You must learn to say its name and "Gong Hei Fat Choy" in Cantonese to the seller.

    Write Your Own Couplet

    Task: Think of your New Year wishes and use AI to turn it into a Chinese poem. Under a master's guidance, use the brush and ink to hand-write these Fai Chun (Couplets) yourself.

    Perform the Lion Dance

    Form a team with your fellow travelers: Head, Tail, and Drummers.

    Task: Learn the rhythm from a master. Work together to complete 60s synchronized Lion Dance performance.

    Act Like a Kung Fu Hero

    Get a full professional makeup & costume.

    Task: Stand on the ancient stone bridge in Shunde. Face the camera and act out a classic "Hero's Greeting" video

    Create a Light Dragon

    Each person holds a traditional handmade Fish Lantern.

    Task: Coordinate with the photographer to create one perfect "Long-Exposure" group photo.

    Carve and Gold-Plate

    Enter a woodcarving workshop.

    Task: Hand-carve a simple wooden pattern. Then try the delicate challenge of applying Gold Leaf onto the wood without breaking it.

    Dance with the Parade

    Get your face painted with simple Yingge makeup.

    Task: Join the edge of a real Yingge phalanx. Follow the drumbeat and copy the dancers' moves to march with them.

    The Tea Master

    Pass the Farmer’s Test.

    Task: Independently perform the full Kung Fu Tea ritual (wash, pour, serve). Serve a cup to the local tea farmer to see if you pass the taste test.

    The Final Cut

    Screen Your Vlog.

    We will screen it at the Farewell Dinner, and the best story wins a $500 Cash Prize.

    Summarize your 9-day journey and edit a Vlog.

  • ADVENTURE BY DAY. COMFORT BY NIGHT.

    We have smoothed out every edge of the journey. From executive transport to strategic 5-star stays, this is logistics at its finest.

    THE RIDE: Your Private Mobile Sanctuary

    Bypass the crowds. Travel in a premium Executive Van equipped with spacious Business Class Captain Seats. Enjoy full door-to-door service with a dedicated chauffeur and luggage porter. No subway crush, no navigation stress—just a quiet, cool space to recharge between adventures.

    THE STAY: Iconic Views & Heritage Sanctuaries

    Uncompromising luxury in the best locations. We combine World-Class 5-Star Hotels with exclusive Heritage Boutiques. Wake up to the futuristic Pearl River skyline one day, and sleep inside a restored Lingnan courtyard the next. We secure the city's most prestigious addresses, placing you in the absolute center of the action.

    THE TASTE: Culinary Insider Access

    Experience the Holy Grail of Cantonese cuisine. We bypass tourist traps to secure tables at the city’s most coveted kitchens. From prestigious time-honored institutions to exclusive "Private Kitchens" hidden in historic alleyways. Whether it's a delicate Dim Sum feast or a master chef's banquet, you will taste the legendary flavors that true locals respect.

  • WHY WE OFFER THE GRANT?

    THE FELLOWSHIP VISION —We value your unique lens. You bridge the world.

    WHY THE GRANT: Bridging Cultures

    We need your eyes to see the real China.

    China is often seen through screens and headlines. We believe the only way to truly understand a culture is to walk its streets and hold its hands.

    We subsidize 40% of the expedition not for "marketing," but to support Cultural Ambassadors. We want you to experience the authentic China through your own lens and share that truth with the world.

    YOUR ROLE: The Storyteller

    Share your harvest, not just photos.

    We invite you to capture more than just scenery. Capture the insight.

    As a foreigner, your fresh perspective is a gift. Share your discoveries, your surprises, and your interactions. Help the world see the universality of our celebrations — the joy of reunion is the same in every language.

    THE CORE SPIRIT: Immerse & Understand

    Inclusiveness. Reverence. Compassion. Your most important mission is simply to ENJOY.

    Embrace the Heat: Feel the noisy, messy, passionate energy of the festival.

    Understand the Soul: Experience the Chinese philosophy of "Respect for Heaven" (reverence for nature/tradition) and "Love for People" (hospitality/connection).

    Open your heart to the chaos and the calm. That is the Chinese New Year.

  • NOT A TRAVEL AGENCY. YOUR LOCAL FRIENDS.

    We are a collective of local fixers, photographers, and cultural insiders. We don't just guide you, we host you.

    THE ARCHITECTS OF THE ROUTE

    Curated, Not Copied.

    This 10-Day, 9-Night itinerary is not a standard template. We spent months scouting, tasting, and filtering.

    We are not international intermediaries. We are native to Guangdong. We know the masters of intangible cultural heritage and where the food is the best. We designed the flow so you never feel rushed, only inspired.

    THE "ALWAYS-ON" SQUAD

    You Are Never Alone.

    We believe in the power of a Small Group (max 8) supported by a Full Team.

    • The Fixer: Your bilingual bridge to the culture.
    • The Chauffeur: Your safe, professional driver.
    • The Concierge: Our remote support team is 24/7 to handle any request.
    • It takes a village to orchestrate a perfect trip. We are that village.

    THE HOSPITALITY (GUANXI)

    Bringing Friends Home.

    In China, we don't treat guests like clients; we treat them like family coming from afar.

    This implies Trust and Warmth. We open doors that remain closed to outsiders—inviting you to tea tables, family dinners, and private workshops. We want you to feel the true warmth of Chinese hospitality.
