Silk Road Guests · Jiangnan Welcome: Hangzhou Kangyi Greets Distinguished Visitors from Central Asia

When the fragrance of apples from Almaty drifts over the Tianshan Mountains, and the blue domes of Samarkand are reflected in the harbour lights of Victoria—this summer, Hangzhou Kangyi International Travel Service is welcoming groups of distinguished guests from Central Asia with the warmth and elegance of Jiangnan.

From the grasslands of Kazakhstan to the ancient cities of Uzbekistan, our Central Asian friends have travelled thousands of miles to embark on a journey of friendship across East China, retracing the Silk Road.

Policy Winds Favour Central Asian Tourism to China

In recent years, tourism exchanges between China and Central Asia have grown increasingly close, serving as a vital bridge for people-to-people connectivity. In November 2023, the mutual visa-exemption agreement between China and Kazakhstan officially took effect.

Data shows that inbound tour orders from Central Asian tourists have surged by 106% year-on-year this year, with orders from Uzbek tourists rising by 164%. Hangzhou ranks among the top favourite destination cities for Central Asian visitors, alongside popular choices such as Guangzhou, Beijing, Ürümqi, Xi'an, Chengdu, and Shanghai.

Fifteen Years of Deep Cultivation: Hangzhou Kangyi Provides Full Support

As the full-service provider for this Central Asian delegation's East China tour, Hangzhou Kangyi International Travel Service—established in 2011—has built an integrated business model combining "travel agency + self-owned high-configuration tour bus fleet + professional conference services." The company operates 30 high-spec tourist coaches, maintains over 30 service outlets nationwide, and hosts more than 100,000 tourists annually.

In terms of reception services, Hangzhou Kangyi boasts a licensed tour guide ratio of 92%, far exceeding the industry average, and adheres to a transparent service commitment of "pure sightseeing with no shopping stops and no hidden costs," ensuring every Central Asian guest enjoys a premium travel experience.

Jiangnan Canvas: Customised Cultural Journeys for Distinguished Guests

Recognising Central Asian tourists' keen interest in Chinese history and culture, Hangzhou Kangyi has leveraged its deep integration of East China tourism resources to design distinctive study-tour itineraries blending Jiangnan water towns, intangible cultural heritage experiences, and technology exploration.

In Hangzhou, Central Asian friends cruise West Lake, visit Yue Fei's Temple, and experience a thousand years of cultural heritage through the resonant bells of Lingyin Temple. In Shanghai, they ascend the Oriental Pearl Tower and stroll along the Bund's historic architecture, feeling the pulse of an international metropolis. In Wuzhen, the arched bridges, flowing canals, and hands-on experiences with blue calico printing allow distant guests to immerse themselves in the aesthetics of Jiangnan living.

Hangzhou Kangyi breaks away from traditional business models, winning with diversified services. From itinerary planning and resource integration to on-the-ground execution, the company provides full-chain, one-stop services, rigorously controlling quality at every stage.

Echoes of the Silk Road: Meeting in Jiangnan, Friendship Endures

As one Central Asian tourist remarked after the tour: "The beauty of Jiangnan far exceeded my imagination, and the guide's detailed explanations gave me a deep understanding of Chinese culture."

The tracks of luggage have measured thousands of miles of distance, yet they cannot measure the depth of memories. Hangzhou Kangyi International Travel Service, with fifteen years of deep roots in East China, upholds the belief of "Prosperity through Wellness, Ambition Reaching Far." With its self-owned fleet, professional guide team, and standardised service system, the company safeguards the safety and experience of every Central Asian guest.

We believe that some encounters are like seeds—they will suddenly sprout and grow one quiet morning in the future, allowing the Silk Road friendship to flourish endlessly.

This meeting across mountains and rivers is the most beautiful story of this summer.
