Why you'll love this trip
  • Take on one of the most popular trips in China, packed full of experiences that will give you a great insight into China in just a short time.
  • Be dazzled by Shanghai’s neon lights and the stunning night skyline. Then, get a peek into what life was like in ancient times with a visit to the incredibly scenic Huishan Ancient Town and one of the finest examples of traditional Chinese gardens – Jichang Garden.
  • Spend the night in a charming, family-run guesthouse near the Great Wall of China – a great opportunity to experience local life – and take the chance for a short sunset hike over one of the Seven Wonders of the World.
  • Explore Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City in Beijing with a local leader who knows all the history, tips and tricks for this fascinating and historic area.
  • Witness the incredible sight of the Terracotta Army – buried for over 2000 years, this fantastic historical wonder is an excellent example of the genius and artistic prowess of man.
Is this trip right for you?
  • Be prepared for some long travel days as you’ll need to cover over 2000 km to see China's main highlights in this 8-day adventure, without a flight.
  • This trip packs a lot in over a short amount of time, so it’s highly recommended you spend some extra time in Shanghai and Beijing before or after your trip to experience more of what these great cities have to offer.
  • As a short, city-based trip, there isn't a lot of time to experience China's beautiful natural landscapes or get further off the beaten track. If you have more time to explore, consider China Experience (CBSE), or Beijing to Hong Kong Adventure (CBSJ)
  • China’s world-class sites and experiences draw large numbers of local and international travellers. We recommend a little patience and comfortable shoes as you may need to wait before entering the more popular locations on your itinerary.

China is an amazing country with lots to explore, each city visited was unique showcasing different aspects of China. The itinerary is brilliant if you don't have much time to visit, with the fastest high-speed trains included, and gets you to some of the country's highlights. The Great Wall is jaw-dropping. However I was a disappointed with the tour in terms of local information provided, and optional activities for free time, which were both lacking.

This trip was absolutely fantastic and amazing, I got to explore diffirent cities and experence the history behind China while visiting local restaurants. Yet none of this would have been possible without Kris who is an absolute superstar for showing everyone around and how to travel about China. This is a tour I will never forget.

First time with YZD and i was not disappointed. The tour managed to pack an amazing amount into a really short period of time, the travel days were not nearly as bad as they seemed on paper. We had an excellent time all round with an amazing tour guide. I have already been recommending the tour and YZD more widely to friends since we have returned.

YZD would be an ideal choice to cover a wide range of destinations and activities within a limited time on a limited budget.
