About this trip
Ten days through a less obvious side of China, moving from the sprawl of Chongqing to the forests and rock towers of Zhangjiajie, the landscape that helped inspire Avatar's Pandora.
It's a mix of city and wilderness — modern urban China alongside national park scenery you won't have seen on a typical city break.
A guided group trip with a good spread of sightseeing, culture and a bit of activity thrown in, including time on two wheels around Yangshuo.
What you'll do
- Explore the city of Chongqing
- Walk through Zhangjiajie National Forest, the inspiration for Avatar's Pandora
- See the sandstone pillar formations of Zhangjiajie
- Cycle through Yangshuo's city streets and surrounding countryside
- Covers several distinct regions in 10 days, so expect a fair amount of internal travel between stops
- Fully guided throughout, suited to those who'd rather not plan logistics themselves
