About this trip
Ten days across five of China's biggest names, moving fast between Beijing, Xi'an, Shanghai, Yangshuo and Guangzhou by bullet train and flight. This is a sightseeing tour in the classic sense — the big monuments, ticked off with a guide who knows the history behind them.
You get the Forbidden City and the Great Wall in Beijing, the Terracotta Army in Xi'an, the Bund in Shanghai, then a change of pace among the karst hills and river scenery around Yangshuo before finishing in Guangzhou.
Accommodation is offered at 3, 4 or 5-star level, so you can pick the comfort level that suits your budget without changing the itinerary itself.
