Wild Frontiers

Award-winning B Corp adventure travel company Wild Frontiers has launched three new small-group tours across China to meet the rising interest in China tourism. China recorded a significant increase in inbound travel during this year’s May Day holiday, with trips by foreign nationals rising to 1.26 million — a 12.5% increase year-on-year — reflecting renewed interest in culturally immersive travel experiences across Asia.

Wild Frontiers new launch includes three expertly crafted itineraries. The first, titled China: From Imperial Capitals to Wild Sichuan, is geared towards travelers with an interest in history. This trip focuses on the history and culture of northern and western China. The second of the new China itineraries is titled Southern China Explorer: From Megacities to Mountain Realms, which showcases dramatic landscapes and regional traditions. Lastly, travelers can join the East China & Taiwan: Shared Traditions and Distinct Cultures Across The Strait trip, which combines China’s historic eastern cities with Taiwan’s natural beauty and celebrated food scene. All three tours are available for booking now direct through Wild Frontiers.

Wild Frontiers’ Director of Product and Operations, Marc Leaderman shared: 

“China offers an extraordinary diversity of travel experiences, from the historic cities and ancient archaeological sites of Sichuan to the landscapes of Zhangjiajie and the regional food cultures found across the country.”

“We’re seeing growing interest from travelers looking for more immersive and culturally focused experiences across Asia, and these new itineraries have been designed to combine iconic highlights with scenic rail journeys, local cuisine, hiking and lesser-visited regions that many visitors don’t typically get the chance to explore.”

There’s more to do in Napa Valley than just wine tasting
Silverado Resort is the ideal place to experience it all
Silverado Resort in Napa Valley

Tell someone you're going to Napa Valley, and it conjures images of rolling vineyards and wine tastings. Both are good things to be sure, but there's more to do in Napa than sample fermented grapes. And that's good news for travelers who don't drink, want to explore a different side of Napa, or simply prefer other pursuits.

Napa Valley's wine country reputation, while well-earned, can overshadow what is a legitimately diverse playground. There are championship golf courses, world-class spas, hiking trails, a walkable downtown, and some of the best dining in the country. And it's all easily accessible, whether these activities are the focus of your trip or something to squeeze in between tasting rooms.

Philly has so many layers of American history that it’s hard to take it all in. Like most first-time visitors, I was overwhelmed by the sheer number of Philadelphia history sites at my disposal. So I stuck to safe bets like the Liberty Bell and Reading Terminal Market, usual suspects that tourists explore when planning a trip to Philadelphia.

And while these stops hold real significance, I was left feeling that I had barely scratched the surface. With century-old landmarks piquing my curiosity at every turn, I knew I’d be back for a deeper dive.

My younger sister works in tech and lives her best life in the West Village. When she first moved to New York, she developed a simple strategy for choosing restaurants: open Instagram or TikTok, identify the week's viral sensation, and fight for a reservation.

As the weeks passed and photos from the latest algorithmic darlings poured into our text thread, I watched with mounting alarm. My sweet little sister—so innocent, so naïve—lost to the wicked spell of the influencer. The squandered income! The wasted chances for truly great meals! When she mentioned what she'd spent for dinner at The Corner Store, I finally reached my breaking point. I vowed to show my wayward sibling the light.
