About this trip
Six days split between Beijing and Shanghai, covering the historic core of China's capital before a high-speed train swaps you into the country's most modern city.
In Beijing you take in the Forbidden City, the Temple of Heaven, and the Great Wall, along with a rickshaw ride through the old hutong neighbourhoods and a visit to the Summer Palace. Shanghai brings a different pace, with Yuyuan Garden, the Bund, and the city's markets.
This is a private, partially guided trip rated easy, so it suits families or anyone who wants the big sights covered without a packed group schedule.
