Meet Tutu
I help make the hard-to-see parts of China travel clearer.
Travel with Tutu is for independent travelers who want to make their own decisions, with more context about routes, hotel areas, transport, and what to book first.
Why I made this site
To make difficult planning decisions easier to see.
Travel with Tutu is for people planning their own first trip to China who want more than a list of attractions. I focus on the choices that are difficult to judge from abroad: how many cities fit, where a day really begins, how transport connects, and which decisions are hard to change later.
I want you to keep control of your trip. My role is to make the trade-offs visible, explain what I would prioritize, and leave the reasoning in so you can make the final decision.
How I check information
Current facts and personal judgment are not the same thing.
- Check changing factsFor details that may change, I use current first-party or official sources and state when the page was last checked.
- Label judgmentI explain what a recommendation depends on and where another choice may suit a different traveler.
- Prioritize decisionsI identify what needs attention first and what can safely stay flexible.
Trust signals
What is public and what is not claimed.
You can inspect a public sample review before deciding whether a paid review is useful.
Read the sample reviewThe current site uses photos supplied by Tutu for this project. It does not use stock portraits to imply identity or experience.
Tutu is a licensed guide. A local companion’s credentials and relevant strengths are checked and described individually; the site does not imply that every companion is licensed or that every city has supply.
What I do not do
Clear boundaries are part of useful advice.
I do not provide visa, legal, medical, insurance, or emergency advice. I do not promise that prices, timetables, opening hours, weather, or policies will stay unchanged.
I do not book travel with your money or provide 24-hour in-trip support. If booking assistance is offered separately, you use your own account and pay the provider directly.
