Private Shanxi tours, run by the people who live here
Dahe International Travel (Shanxi) is the English-language service of Shanxi Dahe International Travel Co., Ltd., a licensed travel agency based in Shanxi, China. We design and operate private, tailor-made tours of Shanxi — Pingyao Ancient City, Datong and the Yungang Grottoes, Mount Wutai and Hukou Waterfall — for international visitors, with local guides, private drivers and door-to-door ground arrangements.
Who we are
We are a Shanxi company, not a national platform reselling Shanxi as one stop among forty provinces. Our team plans routes, checks road and opening conditions, and looks after travellers on the ground in Shanxi itself. The company holds a Travel Agency Business Operating Licence issued in China and is qualified to receive inbound (international) tour groups and independent travellers.
We also run Jinji Yousheng （晋迹有声）, a WeChat mini program of Shanxi travel guides and on-site audio commentary used by domestic travellers across the province — the same local knowledge base our English-language itineraries are built from.
What we do
- Private Shanxi tours — one party, one vehicle, one guide; no shopping stops, no strangers.
- Custom itineraries — built around your dates, pace and interests: Buddhist art, ancient architecture, photography, family history, or slow travel.
- Ground services — airport and railway station pick-ups, inter-city private transfers, hotel and ticket booking within Shanxi.
- Small groups and study visits — architecture, history and Buddhism-themed programmes for schools, societies and special-interest groups.
Where we go
Pingyao Ancient City
China's best-preserved Ming–Qing walled city and a UNESCO World Heritage Site — the wall, the old banks and the county yamen, at a walking pace.
Datong & Yungang Grottoes
Northern Wei Buddhist sculpture on a monumental scale — including the open-air Great Buddha of Cave 20 — plus Huayan Temple and the cliff-hanging Xuankong Temple.
Mount Wutai
One of China's four sacred Buddhist mountains, home of Manjushri, with Tang-dynasty timber halls in its southern foothills.
