SEE A REAL PROPOSAL

This is what you receive before you pay a cent

Below is a real Jade Days proposal — a 14-day private journey through Guizhou and Hunan, designed for a party of four and anonymised, exactly as it was sent. Every Jade Days journey is proposed at this level of detail before any deposit is asked for.

What's inside every proposal

The route, argued

Every sight is tagged for why it's there, and every day carries an honest effort and walking label.

Hotels to the night

Each property named night by night — not "4–5 star or similar".

The table, planned

Named restaurants, chosen for what they say about the place you're in that day.

Plan-B thinking

Weather alternatives are prepared in advance, and your overnight bases never move for weather.

Honest expectations

Where conditions are uncertain, we say so — with companion planning guides when the trip calls for them.

Nothing booked until you say go

The proposal comes first; bookings begin only after your deposit confirms the plan.
