Who We Are

A New Way to Experience China

Lutour was born in Xiamen. Our name comes from the city's ancient title — “Egret Island,” a coastal place where egrets gather, facing the sea and reaching toward the light.

We are a premium custom travel brand created for global travelers. Deeply rooted in China, our journeys reach far beyond one region — from the azure seas of the southeast coast to the snow-capped peaks of the southwest, from Jiangnan's canal towns to the desert horizons of the northwest.

We do not do rushed sightseeing tours. We do not chase attractions or fill buses. We design one-of-a-kind journeys where travel becomes a deeper conversation with people, culture and place.

Our Story

Our Name Is a Promise

Lu is home. Tu is the road ahead.

Through this name, we want to tell every guest one thing: Lutour exists to bring the warmth of “home” into every journey to distant lands.

We do not show you crowded tourist traps. We show you the China that rarely makes it into guidebooks — life as it is lived, warm, vivid and full of stories.

It might be the aroma of rice wine on a Hakka grandmother's stove in a Fujian tulou, the songs of Naxi elders around a fire in Lijiang, prayer flags moving in the wind on a Tibetan plateau, or an afternoon quietly disappearing into a pot of Longjing tea.

We aren't simply selling itineraries. We are creating a way of encountering the world.

Lutour Is a New Face of China

China is vast — 9.6 million square kilometers, 56 ethnic groups and thousands of years of civilization. Yet too many visitors experience only a simplified version.

Lutour exists to restore the richness. We don't promise you'll “see all of China” in one trip. We promise something better: a journey that brings you closer to the real, warm and living China.

Young in spirit. Professional in service. Deeply rooted in China.
