Who Are We?
ArchTour China is the architecture tour brand of POSITION. Established in 2013 as a pioneering architectural media platform, POSITION has evolved into China's most trusted cultural curator, holding official accreditation from the China National Tourism Administration (L-GD-CJ00499). Our architecture tour program is the nation's first architecture-focused travel curriculum.
We organize tours for architects, urban planners, landscape/interior designers, architecture enthusiasts and cultural travelers, but also for groups of architecture&art associations, project developers, building product producers, universities, municipalities, tour operators and so on.
An architectural and aesthetic class on wheels
We advocate for a meaningful architectural odyssey — to explore and understand our living spaces through an architectural lens, and to uncover the cultural treasures that lie beyond the physical realm.
Our architecture tour programs encompass 33 countries, providing exclusive access to normally restricted sites, especially in China. Ready-to-book tours are available, but we also offer journeys tailored to your needs. Additionally, there is an option for lectures / meetings with local professionals and decision-makers, which can be booked as part of a tour.
