Begin with our focus destinations
Shanghai and four-city Jiangnan, alongside Beijing. Start with the experiences, then talk through the route, accommodation and transfers.
Shanghai, beyond the skyline
Look across the river from the Bund, then slow down over a neighbourhood meal. Make room for both the landmarks and the city between them.
Shanghai & Jiangnan: choose your rhythm
Our Jiangnan focus connects Shanghai, Suzhou, Hangzhou and Wuxi, with Wuzhen as a water-town stop. More cities do not always make a better trip.
Suzhou: time for a garden
Framed views, ponds, covered corridors and canal streets reward a closer look—and a realistic walking plan.
Hangzhou: a little time by the lake
West Lake and tea country can be two highlights in one day—or separate experiences with room to linger.
Wuxi: lake views and evening light
Give Wuxi a clear purpose in your trip. Lake Tai and an evening at Nianhua Bay lead to different daily rhythms and hotel choices.
Beijing: history with room to breathe
Palaces, the Great Wall and hutongs each need their own rhythm. Choose your priorities, then give booking, travel and walking their proper place.
A wider world of China
Further planning inspiration; specific routes and services require a separate availability check.
Nanjing
Historic neighbourhoods and museums. Give it dedicated time rather than treating it as a quick stop between Suzhou and Hangzhou.
Xi’an
City walls and ancient history. Plan transport for the Terracotta Warriors separately from the city-centre visit.
Guilin & Yangshuo
River landscapes and countryside. Choose a base before comparing cruises, walks and weather alternatives.
Zhangjiajie
Wulingyuan and Tianmen Mountain are separate outings. Cableways, steps, queues and weather shape the visit.
Sichuan
Chengdu city life, pandas and distant mountain regions need different rhythms. Calculate transfers before combining them.
Chongqing
Liziba rail and layered neighbourhoods are visually striking. Hills and changes of level also belong in the walking plan.
Xinjiang
A vast region. Choose a northern or southern focus, season and length before combining stops.
Tibet
Check document-specific travel requirements, permitted areas and altitude planning before confirming an itinerary.
Harbin
Check seasonal opening dates, clothing and warm indoor breaks. Harbin city and Snow Town are not the same destination.
