Overview
Travel with your Small Group from Shanghai to Beijing and see China’s big hitters without the fuss. Cruise the Yangtze through jaw-dropping gorges, come face to face with the Terracotta Warriors and walk the Great Wall. Check out Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City and the Three Gorges Dam. You’ll zip between cities on high-speed trains, cruise ships and coaches — with the must-sees sorted and plenty of freedom to do your own thing.
Iconic Experience
- Chongqing: You’ll get to know Chongqing, a major river city built on steep hills above the Yangtze. Busy shopping streets, high-rises and older alleyways sit side by side and hotpot restaurants are packed most evenings, showing you how people here eat, shop and spend their time.
- Xi'an: Explore the vast underground tomb complex of China’s first emperor, Qin Shi Huang. Stand before the awe-inspiring Terracotta Army, thousands of life-sized warriors, horses and chariots crafted over two millennia ago to guard the emperor in the afterlife. Each figure is unique, offering a powerful glimpse into ancient artistry and imperial ambition.
- Xi'an: Step inside 2,000-year-old Yaodong cave dwellings, built from naturally insulating, earthquake-resistant Loess earth. As modern homes replace them, your visit helps families restore their homes, keeping their heritage alive while embracing the future. Your visit also directly supports United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities.
- Beijing: Gain insights into this fascinating city during a sightseeing tour of Beijing. See the Great Hall of the People and Tiananmen Square before stepping through the south gate of the Forbidden City.
- Great Wall of China: Visit the Great Wall of China to marvel at the history of this renowned landmark.
- Beijing: Discover the significance of jade in Chinese culture during a visit to a traditional workshop. You’ll learn to tell genuine jade from imitation, explore the stone’s cultural and mineral origins, and even watch skilled artisans at work. More than a jewellery stop, this experience offers insight into a tradition shaped by 2,500 years of history and Confucian values.
