Meet Rob & Cherry.
An American-Chinese couple who believe independent travel should feel exciting, not intimidating.
Why we started Cherry Travel Yunnan
China has extraordinary places, but independent travel involves a learning curve: train stations, unfamiliar addresses, Chinese booking screens and choices that can be hard to judge from abroad.
Rob brings an English-speaking traveler’s perspective; Cherry brings Chinese-language skills and familiarity with everyday life and travel in China. Together, we’re building approachable guides for people who would rather explore at their own pace than commit to a large group tour.
What we believe
Tell people when a sight is worth the detour. Explain the practical steps. Include Chinese characters that actually help. Don't pretend that a ten-minute transfer is easy when it isn't.
We keep refining the routes and adding useful local recommendations as we travel.
