About this trip
This 11-day trip through China is built around comfort and genuine encounters rather than the usual tourist shuffle. You're based in well-located luxury hotels throughout, with a small group and a fully guided schedule that keeps things easy-paced.
Meals are a proper part of the experience here, with a la carte signature dishes rather than set banquet fare, and there are no shopping stops built into the itinerary. You'll also get local family visits that go beyond the standard sightseeing routine.
Evenings bring some proper spectacle, with a Chinese acrobatic show and a dance performance included. It's a trip suited to families and photographers alike, with time to actually look at what's in front of you rather than rush past it.
