8-Day Tour to Beijing, Xi’an, and Shanghai, China

Greetings from China!
After landing in Beijing, you will meet your guide for a private one-hour transfer to your accommodation in the city centre.
Following your appointment with the tour and baggage check at Daxing International Airport, you can explore Beijing’s recently constructed airport and learn about its exquisitely designed Chinese features.

Tiananmen Square, a national landmark that has seen numerous significant historical and ceremonial events in China, will be the starting point of your journey today. You will reach the Forbidden City, where Chinese emperors and their families resided for hundreds of years, after passing through it. You can discover the most well-known stories about the ancient Chinese aristocracy and gain an understanding of China’s long-gone imperial past by seeing the palaces and exhibitions therein.
Explore the Hutongs in Old Beijing this afternoon. You will have the exceptional chance to learn about the history and customs of ancient Chinese cricket fighting by touring the home of a cricket trainer.

The journey begins today in the Temple of Heaven, where you may see the beauty of the building itself and observe the locals engaging in Tai Chi, swordplay, and Chinese calligraphy on the ground using a large brush and water.
Visit the Great Wall (the less busy Mutianyu portion) after a two-hour journey. Take a cable car to the spectacular ramparts, trek a bit higher to see the intimidating surroundings, and then take another cable car down to return to Beijing.

After breakfast, you’ll head to the Summer Palace, an imperial garden featuring lakes, man-made hills, and a variety of historic structures. A boat ride on Kunming Lake is the ideal way to relax in lovely weather.
To board the high-speed train to Xi’an, you will then be taken to the station. When you arrive at the train station, your local private guide and driver will be there to welcome you and transport you to your hotel so you can rest.

Xi’an is renowned worldwide thanks to the Terracotta Warriors. You will come across this fabled army today, which has protected Qin Shihuang, the first Chinese ruler, from 210 B.C. These realistic soldiers seem to tell you diverse stories with their vivid facial expressions, despite having been buried for almost 2,200 years.
Enjoy the sights, sounds, and fragrances of the Muslim Quarter by taking a stroll there at night.

Take an afternoon flight to Shanghai. Visit Hangyang Tomb, the underground cultural relic treasure trove close to the airport, while travelling.
Your driver and local guide will meet you at the airport and transport you to your hotel upon your arrival.

The famous Bund, the former French Concession, the Shanghai Tower, the tallest building in China at the moment, and its observation deck provide a breathtaking view of the Huangpu River are all part of your Shanghai exploration. Yu Garden is a classical garden that fully displays the traditional design of Chinese architecture. Yuyuan Market is a bustling bazaar near the Yu Garden where you can try local snacks and explore traditional Chinese handicrafts and artworks.

Say goodbye to China as you meet your driver for a private ride to the airport at the scheduled time.
We look forward to seeing more of our country’s natural and cultural treasures when you return.
