Affiliate Disclosure

Last updated: August 26, 2026

Some links on China Trekker are affiliate links. We may earn a commission if you book through them, at no extra cost to you.

Our Commitment to You

China Trekker is an independent, English-language resource for hiking, cycling and outdoor travel in China. Our trail guides, route advice and travel planning information are written from firsthand experience and are free to read.

To help fund the site and keep our guides free, some of the products and services we link to are affiliate links. This means that, at no additional cost to you, we may receive a small commission when you click one of these links and make a booking or purchase.

What This Means

You never pay more by using our affiliate links — the price is identical to going direct.
A commission may be paid to us by the booking platform after a completed booking.
Our recommendations are based on what we genuinely believe is useful for travelers, not on which product pays the most.

Types of Affiliate Links We Use

We currently use the following affiliate partners:

Accommodation (Stay22): links and maps that help you find and compare hotels and places to stay near destinations.
Tours, activities and experiences (Viator): links to guided tours, day trips and outdoor experiences that may be relevant to a guide you are reading.

We may add other reputable affiliate programs in the future. This disclosure applies to all current and future affiliate relationships on the site.

What Affiliate Links Do Not Change

Our editorial content, route descriptions and safety advice are independent of affiliate relationships.
We do not allow affiliate commissions to influence how we describe a trail, destination or service.
The presence of an affiliate link does not constitute an endorsement of every offering on a third-party platform — please always read recent reviews and confirm details directly with the provider before booking.

Third-Party Websites

Affiliate links take you to third-party websites (such as booking platforms). We are not responsible for the content, pricing, availability or policies of those external sites. Bookings are made directly with the third party and are subject to their terms and conditions.
