China Adventure

Seventeen days across China, starting in neon-lit Hong Kong and finishing in historical Beijing, with plenty of ground covered in between. Expect a mix of big-city energy, ancient sites, and quieter cultural traditions that don't usually make it onto shorter trips.

You'll try Chongqing's famous hot pot, ride the world's tallest outdoor elevator for views over Zhangjiajie's Avatar Mountains, and stand before the Terracotta Warriors in Xi'an. There's also a Great Wall hike at sunset and a stop to learn about Nvshu, the traditional script once used only by women.

This is a trip that leans into contrast — modern skylines one week, centuries-old customs the next — and covers real distance to do it.
