Begin a meaningful journey back to your roots with our 12-day Adult Adoptee “Ladybug” Heritage Tour. Specially designed for adult adoptees embarking on a first-time return visit to China, this unique experience offers a thoughtful blend of cultural exploration, personal reflection, and shared connections.

Together with fellow adoptees—and possibly an adoptive parent or two—you’ll explore historic cities, enjoy iconic Chinese landmarks, and create space for inner growth. The itinerary includes cultural hotspots in Beijing, Xian, and Chengdu, and concludes with an optional, fully customizable visit to your orphanage city, hometown area, or a preferred destination.

This trip is more than sightseeing—it’s about discovering identity, sharing meaningful moments with others on a similar path, and reflecting on the complexities of belonging, family, and culture.

Along the way, you will:

• Guided historical tour of Beijing, featuring the Summer Palace, Forbidden City, and traditional family-style lunch in a hutong home
