LocalPal – Explore China through Real People and Stories
We believe that travel is more than just places — it's about people, connection, and stories that stay with you. That's why we built LocalPal.

Too many travelers only skim the surface of China. Too many tours are outdated, overpriced, and soulless. Too many visitors face frustrating problems with no help in sight.
We knew there had to be a better way.
That's why we created LocalPal — to offer real, immersive cultural experiences and on-demand travel support, making every trip to China meaningful, personal, and unforgettable.
At LocalPal, we help travelers experience the real China — its people, 5,000-year history, its vibrant traditions, and its 56 ethnic cultures.
From hands-on cultural encounters to real-time support from our Travel Assistants, we make your journey smoother, deeper, and truly unforgettable.
We partner with quality local brands and hosts to offer immersive activities such as traditional tea ceremonies, folk crafts, hutong life tours, and more.
Our experiences are designed to be hands-on, personal, and rooted in local perspectives — not just sightseeing, but real participation.
Our bilingual Travel Assistants help with everything from payment apps and public transport to translation, itinerary adjustments, medical support, and more.
Services are available online or on-site, with fast response, fair pricing, and a focus on personalized, real-time support — so you're never stuck.
