Features: According to incomplete statistics, China's private car ownership has now reached 12 million. Experts predict that in 10 years, this number will grow to 100 million. In some major cities, 20% of the population has the ability to buy a car, whether it's cheap or expensive. Owning a car for a family is no longer an unattainable dream. Once you're behind the wheel of your beloved "BMW," the roads beneath your tires will stretch endlessly. You want to leave the city, explore the mountains, or even venture to the ends of the earth. Every road leading to distant places will ignite your desire for exploration, and the breathtaking beauty of China will always fill you with longing. Imagine Xu Xiake from over 400 years ago, trekking through countless famous mountains and rivers. Now that we have four-wheeled vehicles, what are we waiting for? Therefore, we have carefully selected these long and short driving routes for you, starting from various cities and leading to the mystical landscapes of China.
Starting from Beijing, the black soil of Northeast China, the vast grasslands of Inner Mongolia stretch endlessly, embodying boundless ruggedness and sincerity. The vast sky and distant land evoke a sense of grandeur. Starting from Shanghai, the surrounding area is wrapped in the timeless charm of the Jiangnan water towns—gentle, poetic, and utterly captivating. The leisurely Chengdu is the starting point for seeking various "Shangri," and also the frequent departure point for entering the snowy plateau. Mount Gongga, Meili, Mount Siguniang, and Mount Xian Nai—countless famous and lesser-known snow-capped peaks will silently gaze upon you. When you pay your respects, the highest deities in the hearts of the Tibetans will bless your journey.
Urumqi, Kunming, Guangzhou, Haikou, Changsha, Lanzhou, and Xi'an have also been chosen as starting cities. The changes in customs and culture across the Tianshan Mountains, the historical vicissitudes of the Tea Horse Road, the breathtaking mountains and waters of Guilin, the seasonal winds that sweep across Hainan, the poetic wooden houses of Fenghuang City in Western Hunan—so much beauty awaits our amazed gazes, and so many legends yearn to be told. There are still more routes waiting for our wheels to explore.
Let's go—the road is right before us. Let's go—the accelerator is at your feet. We provide detailed maps and routes, calculate your daily mileage, select suitable attractions and accommodations, and help you make the most of every minute. We help you step out of your busy work, relax your troubled mind, and spread the wings of your soul, breathing in fresh air. A car is a small group, and several cars form a larger team. Whether it's 5 days or 10, on the road, the blue sky and green sea belong to you, and the high mountains and rivers follow you. Even when your car breaks down, your mood remains fulfilling, because friends will always be there to help you.
There's no reason you shouldn't love this kind of life, and no force can resist the temptation of traveling across the country. Choose a route that suits you and set off. The taste of happiness lies in your hands, on the steering wheel.
