China Heritage Tour

China Heritage Tour

Open to all Chinese adoptees and their families!

Travel to China with Holt!

Traveling from big cities to rural villages, Holt’s China Heritage Tour offers adoptees and their families the opportunity to experience the rich culture, customs and history of this ancient land. On this memorable trip, participants will visit famous sites such as the Great Wall, the Forbidden City and the Terracotta Warriors and Horses Museum, and enjoy a rare glimpse into China’s countryside. Families also will have the chance to participate in hands-on cooking classes and learn to make traditional Chinese dishes.

Whenever possible, adoptees have the opportunity to visit their adoption cities, former orphanages and/or sites significant to their adoption story. They may also meet the people who touched their early lives before they joined their adoptive families in the U.S. The China tour is open to families adopted from any province and through any agency. Adoptees must be 9 years of age or older to participate in the tour.

Registration for Holt’s 2026 China Tour is now closed. Join us in 2027!
