A student group is planned for the day that goes wrong as well as the day that goes well. This page describes how the programmes are built, what is confirmed in writing before a group travels, and seven situations from the early seasons.
Planning
Fallbacks
Each sample day names what is tight and what is optional, so that a teacher can see where the programme has slack and where it has none.
See the sample itinerary.
In Writing
Past Seasons
A Russian language school has travelled with PreeChina in 2025 and 2026. These seven things happened during those trips. Each was resolved without anyone coming to harm. The school and the participants are not named.
| Situation | What happened |
|---|---|
| Plans and weather | A traffic jam meant the day's plan was changed on the day. |
| Plans and weather | Rain began during a boat ride. |
| Plans and weather | Participants asked to visit a temple that was not in the plan. |
| Venues | A restaurant started renovation work and could not seat the whole group. |
| People | A participant became separated from the group at a theme park in Shanghai. |
| People | A participant became unwell during the trip. |
| After the trip | After the group had flown home, a phone and a wallet were found to have been left on a coach. |
Schools receive many descriptions of trips that went well. A list of what went wrong, written plainly, tells a coordinator more about how a group is run.
On the Ground
These photographs from the 2026 trip show a group of thirty-six together on the ground: gathered on Main Street at a theme park, on the Bund, at a gate of the Forbidden City and on the Great Wall. They were taken by PreeChina.




Limits
This page describes how programmes are built and what has happened on them. It does not replace the written proposal for a particular group, which sets out the details for that route and those dates.
Send the group size, ages, dates and the curriculum or interests, and PreeChina replies with a draft route. Nothing is booked until a priced itinerary is agreed.
Request a ProposalReviewed October 2026. Programme details are confirmed in writing for each group.
