The Evolutionary Journey of Your Way Holiday 1. Foundation Stage (1989-2010): Rooted in Xi'an Inbound Tourism, Consolidating Local Foundations The inception of our journey traces back to 1989, under the distinguished leadership of our parent company, China Merchants International Travel, Hangzhou Co. (China Travel Agency License No. L-ZJ-CJ00037). For over two decades, spanning from 1989 to 2010, we dedicated ourselves to the art of crafting offline inbound group tours, meticulously curating experiences for large tour groups. These formative years were characterized by a relentless pursuit of excellence, during which we not only achieved significant milestones but also established an indelible mark on the travel industry.
We have deeply cultivated Xi'an's inbound tourism market and designed classic tour products of Xi'an for international travelers. Having accumulated more than 300 local cultural and tourism resources in Xi'an, covering scenic spots, intangible cultural heritage workshops, local restaurants, homestays and more, we have become a core service provider for inbound tourism in Xi'an, introducing the charm of ancient Chang'an to global visitors.
2. Transformation Stage (2011 Onwards): Digitalizing Xi'an Private Tours, Unlocking In-depth Experiences In 2011, we embarked on a pivotal transformation as we embraced the digital frontier. We launched Xi'an Private Tour, an exclusive online private travel platform for Xi'an. Shifting from traditional large-group tours to intimate cultural small-group experiences in Xi'an, we explore off-the-beaten-path ways to visit iconic attractions such as the Terracotta Army and Xi'an City Wall, putting an end to superficial sightseeing.
3. Upgrading Stage (Brand Rebranding): Centered on Xi'an, Covering the Entire Silk Road As our online platform evolved, it became clear that our expanded service offerings needed a fresh identity. We officially upgraded to Your Way Holiday. Taking Xi'an as the core hub, our services extend to the Silk Road regions of Shaanxi, Gansu and Xinjiang. We integrate distinctive experiences of Xi'an – immersive Tang-style culture, Silk Road heritage tracing, authentic local street life and delicacies – into customized private tours, building an exclusive private travel IP for Xi'an.
Why Choose Us in Xi'an: 10 Core Advantages of Our Private Tours 1. Over 30 Years of Local Expertise in Xi'an We possess profound knowledge of the 13-dynasty history and Silk Road legends. Unlocking off-the-beaten-path perspectives at sites like the Terracotta Army and Stele Forest, we provide exclusive insider access to all 17 entry gates of the City Wall and hidden local hotspots.
2. Historian-Level Local Tour Guides Over 80% of our guides are native Xi'an locals. Combining professional historical expertise with bilingual fluency (English/Japanese/Korean), they narrate relic stories and deliver immersive Tang-dynasty lectures, acting as true "Cultural Ambassadors of Chang'an."
3. Immersive Authentic Tang Culture Activities Exclusive cultural integrations including Tang-style tea ceremonies, Qinqiang opera encounters, shadow-silhouette paper cutting workshops, and Hanfu photography. We avoid cliché check-ins, adding depth and warmth to your journey.
