About this trip
This private tour takes you across China from Beijing to Shanghai, calling in on Xi'an, Guilin and Yangshuo along the way. It's a broad sweep of the country's history and landscapes, from imperial capitals to karst countryside.
You'll start in Beijing, taking in its mix of old and new, before heading to Xi'an for the Terracotta Warriors and ancient city walls. From there the pace slows in Guilin and Yangshuo, where karst peaks and rivers replace city streets, before the trip ends in Shanghai's modern skyline.
As a private, partially guided tour, it suits families or small groups wanting flexibility without giving up local guidance at the key sites.
