We are a bespoke travel house devoted to one country, done properly — and beautifully.
The kite was born in China more than two thousand years ago — a simple instrument of bamboo and silk that learned to ride the wind. It carries our name because it captures what we believe travel should be: colourful, light, joyful, and lifted by forces larger than itself.
Colorful Kite Travel exists to give curious travellers from around the world a complete, effortless and genuinely personal experience of China. We work only here. We know the guides, the hotels, the cooks and the hidden workshops by name. And we design every journey as a unique tapestry of eating, staying, travelling, exploring, culture and performance — because China is not a checklist, it is a feeling.
From the first conversation to the flight home, one dedicated China specialist designs, books and supports your journey. Private guides, hand-picked hotels, seamless high-speed transport and 24/7 on-the-ground help — so that all you have to do is be present.
We design journeys in China and nowhere else. Depth over breadth, every time.
No fixed departures and no coach groups — every itinerary is written around you.
Early entry, private visits and the craftspeople and masters most travellers never meet.
A real person to call, in every city, at any hour, from arrival to departure.
