We went to China for 10 days and paid $299 per person. We thought this China trip was too good to be true… until we experienced it ourselves.

That price included round-trip airfare from New York City, 4-star hotel accommodations, an English-speaking tour guide, daily complimentary breakfast, and entry to iconic attractions like the Great Wall of China.

Here's exactly how much our 10 day trip to China cost: https://thoughtcard.com/china-trip-cost/

We also share what surprised us most about booking such an affordable package, what the experience was actually like on the ground, and tips to help you plan a trip to China more confidently.

If China is on your travel list, this episode will help you understand what’s possible, what to expect, and how to start planning your own adventure.
