About this trip
Eight days across three of China's major historical sites, moving from Beijing to Luoyang and on to Xi'an by high-speed train. You get the big landmarks — Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City, the Great Wall — alongside quieter cultural stops like the Longmen Caves and a Shaolin Monastery.
Food gets its own space too, from Peking roast duck in Beijing to making your own dumplings in Xi'an. It's a fully guided group trip, so the logistics of moving between cities are handled for you.
