Kankan with Us: Explore the Hidden Side of China Travel

Hello and welcome to Kankan!

We’re so excited to have you here at the start of this journey. Before we dive into all the amazing Beijing experiences we’re creating, we wanted to take a moment to introduce ourselves and share why Kankan exists — and why we believe we’re the right people to help you truly discover China through authentic, local travel.

Who We Are

We’re Kaylene and Amanda, two passionate explorers who met in Beijing close to a decade ago. Living, working, and wandering in this incredible city, we realized something important: China is often misunderstood, oversimplified, or seen only through the lens of its famous landmarks like the Great Wall or the Forbidden City.

But for us, China travel is so much more. It’s the smell of fresh sesame seed buns from a street stall at dawn. It’s the quiet stories whispered in the alleys of a historic hutong neighborhood. It’s the unexpected fusion of ancient Chinese culture and modern creativity.

That’s why we created Kankan—to help you see China with fresh eyes through immersive, meaningful, and off-the-beaten-path experiences.

Why Trust Us?

Between us, we’ve spent years living in Beijing and traveling through lesser-known parts of China. We speak the language, understand the culture, and most importantly, know how to connect travelers with authentic local experiences that go beyond the usual tourist itinerary.

At Kankan, we don’t just offer tours; we craft stories, flavors, and moments that stay with you. We’ve handpicked every Beijing tour and cultural experience to highlight the unique contrasts and rich history that make China such an endlessly fascinating travel destination.

Whether it’s sharing the secret behind a centuries-old imperial snack, introducing you to traditional Beijing food, or sipping a one-of-a-kind local coffee in a hidden café, we’re here to guide you with insider knowledge and genuine passion.

What’s Next?

This blog will be where we share behind-the-scenes stories, local travel tips, hidden gems, and updates about our growing list of curated Beijing experiences. We want you to feel like part of the Kankan travel community from day one.

So, if you’re curious, adventurous, and ready to explore China beyond the obvious, stay tuned. We promise to show you a side of Beijing — and China — that most travelers never get to see.

Thanks for joining us!
