What your clients will say

Travelers on our trips

"More than a taste of China."

The team at Harmony Bridge arranged for tours from local university professors and students through outdoor markets, where we tasted the plethora of fruits, meats and mushrooms. We also had a meaningful demonstration by local college students on the heritage and presentation of tea.

MichelleTexas

"We had no idea how welcoming the people would be."

Our personal tour guide helped us to explore hidden villages and engage with local traditions. We hope to return someday and do another tour with Harmony Bridge.

Paul

"Warm and inviting."

Harmony Bridge unveiled the marvelous countryside and gave me the chance to take many breathtaking pictures. The people of Yunnan were warm and inviting. We came home with a real appreciation for China's heritage and hospitality.

PaulTexas
Janice

"Now, I get it."

I thought they were crazy to move halfway across the world with all my grandkids, but then I visited Yunnan with Harmony Bridge Travel. The people, the landscapes, the magic of stepping into a completely different world. If you have the chance to go, don't hesitate. Just go!

JaniceTexas
Hunter

"I loved every bite!"

Thanks to Harmony Bridge, we discovered Yunnan's best-kept secrets. As a young kid, climbing Snow Mountain was amazing. The people were so nice and friendly, and the food was the best.

HunterTexas
Nell

"No surprises."

They took into consideration the kind of places we would be interested in and the amount of walking we would want to do. Everything was included in the original pricing.

Advisor questions

What advisors ask us

For advisors

How does commission work?

You sell at our published retail price and earn 18% commission. Full commission terms are in the advisor kit.

Will my clients find it cheaper online?

No. We publish one retail price everywhere, including on our own site, and never sell below it.

What if my client changes their mind?

Cancel more than 60 days before departure for a 100% refund, less card or bank processing fees. Between 60 and 30 days out, the full amount becomes credit toward any of our departures within 24 months. Inside 30 days, payments aren't refundable, but a client can pass their place to someone else up to 15 days before departure.

I book through a host agency. Can I work with you?

Yes. We pay your commission to your host agency, and they pay you your split, the same way your other suppliers do. Just tell us your host agency on the form.

What if my client contacts you directly?

Your client stays your client. If someone tells us they're working with you, or we learn they found us through you, we send them back to you and the booking stays yours.

What's the smallest booking?

Two travelers. Every departure is guaranteed to run with just 2, and each booking travels privately up to 30.

How does the free 11th place work for groups?

Bring 10 or more paying travelers at least 6 months before departure and the 11th place is free (one free place for every 10 who pay). The free place is land only, twin share, with any single supplement charged, and it doesn't combine with other discounts.

Is travel insurance included?

No. We strongly encourage it, and you arrange it with your clients through your own insurance partners.

Working with us

Who is Harmony Bridge, and who runs the trips on the ground?

Harmony Bridge USA, LLC is a Texas company and an independent affiliate of Nexion Travel Group. Our family has lived in Yunnan for a decade plus. On the ground, licensed Chinese inbound tour operators provide vehicles, hotels, guides and tickets, and our own bilingual team looks after your travelers every day of the trip.

Are your partners in China licensed?

Yes. We only contract licensed Chinese inbound tour operators. We check their business licenses, inbound permits, vehicle and driver insurance and guide credentials before they handle any of our travelers, and they train on our child protection and safety standards.

Do I contract with a U.S. company?

Yes. You sign with Harmony Bridge USA, LLC, under U.S. law, and you pay in U.S. dollars. You plan with people who speak your language and work your business hours as well as China's.

Do I need to sign anything?

Yes, a short partner agreement before your first booking. It covers commission, client protection both ways, and payment and cancellation terms. It comes with the kit.

Rates, commission and payments

What is the payment schedule?

A 25% deposit, with a minimum of $500 per person, confirms the booking, and the balance is due 60 days before departure. Larger group programs may have staged payments, set out in your quote and partner agreement.

What does the client pay in card fees?

Card and bank transaction fees aren't refundable. Today they are about 2.9% plus $0.30 per card payment and 0.8%, capped at $5, per ACH bank payment, so ACH is the better choice for group payments.

Trips and groups

What's the difference between a guaranteed departure and a private program?

Guaranteed departures run on set dates and go ahead with just 2 travelers, at one price per person whatever the group size. Private programs run on any date for 2 to 30 travelers, built around your group's interests, pace and purpose.

Can I sell under my own brand?

Yes. Give the trip your own name. We provide editable itineraries, photos and trip notes, and your clients see your name first.

Do you book international flights?

No, flights are yours or your clients' to book, so you keep control of air and any air commission. We tell you which airports to use and check flight times fit the itinerary and, for guaranteed departures, the 240-hour visa-free stay.

Which trips work with the 240-hour visa-free stay?

Both guaranteed departures do. Travelers fly in to Beijing and out of Kunming to a third country or region, such as Bangkok, Singapore or Hong Kong, within 240 hours, so most U.S. and Canadian passport holders need no visa. Some private journeys go to places outside the visa-free areas or run longer, and those need a regular tourist visa. Tibet also needs a special travel permit. We tell you which applies before you book and help your clients with any visa or permit.

Protection and support

Will you contact my clients?

Never for sales. Your clients stay yours, during the trip and after it. If one contacts us directly, we send them back to you and the booking stays yours. We never add your clients to our marketing.

What happens if something goes wrong during the trip?

The guide is with the group every day, and our bilingual team is reachable around the clock. We handle the situation on the ground, keep you informed, and work with your clients' insurer if they need to claim. You'll hear from us quickly, not after the trip.

Selling and growing

How fast can I get a quote?

Within 24 hours of a complete request (dates, group size and rooming), with an itinerary ready for your brand.

What marketing support do you give?

White-label itineraries in Word and PDF, trip copy you can paste, social posts, and photos you're allowed to use. Approved partners get everything in our partner portal, and we're glad to join a client evening or webinar by video.

Do you offer FAM trips?

We host small familiarization trips for partners who are actively selling China. Ask us about upcoming dates.

How do you handle child protection and sustainability?

We are a The Code Top Member for 2026 and our partners in China train on child protection every year. We don't offer orphanage visits, elephant rides or animal shows, and we work with family-run inns, local guides and village hosts who are paid fairly. See our child protection policy and sustainability page.

How do I get started?

Request the trade kit on this page. We approve requests from verified operators and advisors, usually within 24 hours, and send the rate sheet, itineraries and partner agreement. Or book a call with Bobby.

More answers on our FAQ page, or ask Bobby directly.
