BEFORE THE ADVENTURE
A little clarity for the journey.
Start here for questions about routes, timing and planning.
Where should I go on my first trip?
Start with Xi’an’s Terracotta Warriors and Beijing’s Forbidden City and Great Wall for history. Choose Zhangjiajie for dramatic mountains, or Guilin and Yangshuo for river scenery and a gentler pace. Add Shanghai, Guangzhou or Chongqing for illuminated skylines and lively evenings. We can discuss combining these stops into a longer trip.
How long should I allow?
Our city-night stays are 3-day sample routes; the heritage and landscape stays are 4 or 5 days. Combining several stops takes extra time for travel between them. Allow additional time for your flights from the United States, the time difference and the pace you enjoy.
Can I change a sample itinerary?
Absolutely. These routes are inspiration, not fixed departures. Tell us your interests, travel dates, preferred pace and who’s coming along in the trip request below.
Is this a confirmed booking?
No. Sending a trip request is free and does not reserve travel or commit you to a payment. Availability, the operator, services, prices and booking terms must be agreed separately before you book.
What about entry requirements and travel documents?
Requirements depend on your passport, route and travel dates. Check the current information from the Chinese embassy or consulate and your airline before making nonrefundable plans.
