About this trip
Fifteen days through China's headline sights, from the Great Wall outside Beijing to the terracotta warriors in Xi'an, with a river cruise through Guilin and time with giant pandas in Chengdu along the way.
It's a small group capped at 18 people, staying in hotels throughout, and there are no shopping stop detours built into the days.
You'll also catch an acrobatic or dance show and walk the Bund in Shanghai, where the old colonial waterfront faces the modern skyline across the river.
What you'll do
- Walk the Great Wall at Mutianyu
- Explore Beijing's Forbidden City
- See the Terracotta Army in Xi'an
- Cruise the Li River through Guilin
- Visit giant pandas in Chengdu
- Walk the Bund in Shanghai
- Small group, maximum 18 people, with guaranteed departures
- No shopping stops built into the itinerary
- Covers five cities in 15 days, so there's a fair amount of moving between stops
Worth it if you want seamless sightseeing across major cities with strong guides and pacing. Think twice if you have dietary restrictions or need certainty on logistics.
- Guides at each location were knowledgeable, helpful, and managed time well without rushing.
- Multiple nights at most stops meant no constant repacking; trip felt comfortable and well-paced.
- Transport details arrived last-minute via WeChat; dietary accommodations were inconsistent despite requests.
- Tour became private mid-way for one group; expect rotating local guides rather than one constant guide.
