Summary
Spend ten days among Beijing’s imperial landmarks and Xi’an’s living streets, then follow the Li River to Yangshuo before exploring Shanghai. Every journey can be tailored to you.
In Beijing, walk from palace courtyards into the lanes of older neighbourhoods. Xi’an brings the finely modelled figures of the Terracotta Army and the everyday bustle of the Muslim Quarter; farther south, the Li River carries you past limestone hills on the way to Yangshuo. Shanghai’s gardens and riverfront make a fitting final stop. Private transfers connect the route, and we can shape the dates, pace and places around what draws you to China.
