With thousands of years of history and a fascinating, vibrant culture, it’s easy to see why China remains one of the world’s favourite travel destinations, with something to offer everyone. Alongside the intriguing history seen in the many ancient cities and archaeological discoveries, there is so much more to fall in love with in China, from the delicious cuisine to the diverse landscapes, friendly locals, peaceful gardens, cultural customs and cuddly giant pandas.
Our 23-day Very Best of China tour gives you the chance to see some of this amazing country’s top highlights at a leisurely pace, with a mix of unforgettable journeys, sightseeing tours and Freedom Days, where you can enjoy your time in your current destination as you wish. During the tour, you’ll visit some of the country’s best-known attractions and cities, such as Beijing, Shanghai, the Terracotta Warriors and the Great Wall of China. We will also show you some of China’s lesser-known spots and hidden gems, such as Pingyao, the country’s best-preserved walled city. The tour also offers some of the world’s most incredible journeys in the form of a three-night cruise along the Yangtze River and a cross-country bullet train ride from Pingyao to Xi’an.
Quality accommodation, breakfast, transport and several meals are all taken care of for you, with a dedicated Tour Manager also on hand to help you get the very best out of your, whether you’re looking to book an optional excursion or are simply after tips on where to eat or visit. With so much included with the tour, as well as the opportunity to enjoy a homebound stopover in Dubai or Hong Kong, the Very Best of China tour offers exceptional value for money as well as an Asian adventure that you will never forget.
