The Great China Trip

Beijing - Xi'an - Chengdu - Zhangjiajie - Guilin - Guangzhou

Embark on an unforgettable journey through the heart of China, a meticulously curated adventure that weaves together the rich tapestry of ancient history, breathtaking natural wonders, and vibrant modern life. This exclusive self-guided tour is designed for those who seek to immerse themselves in the depth of Chinese culture, history, and nature, all at their own pace.

Begin your odyssey in Beijing, the pulsating capital, where the ancient majesty of the Great Wall and the Forbidden City stand in harmonious contrast with the city's modern skyline. Wander through the historic hutongs, indulge in the famed Peking duck, and feel the pulse of centuries-old traditions.

Continue to Xi'an, an ancient capital where the Terracotta Army stands guard for eternity. Cycle atop its age-old city walls and dive into the bustling Muslim Quarter, a testament to the city's historical Silk Road significance.

Journey onwards to Chengdu, the laid-back city of leisure, where the Giant Panda Breeding Research Base offers an intimate glimpse into the lives of China’s ambassador of wildlife conservation. The spicy allure of Sichuan cuisine and the serene beauty of traditional tea houses invite you to savor moments of tranquility.

Venture into the surreal landscapes of Guilin and Yangshuo, where the Li River mirrors a maze of limestone karsts, offering scenes straight out of traditional Chinese paintings. Whether it's bamboo rafting or cycling through the rice fields, the natural beauty is as endless as it is enchanting.

For those drawn by the call of nature, the detour to Zhangjiajie unveils a landscape so mystical, it's said to have inspired the floating mountains in Avatar. Marvel at the towering quartz-sandstone pillars and brave the world’s highest and longest glass bridge, blending adrenaline with awe.

Conclude your expedition in Guangzhou, a dynamic metropolis where the futuristic skyline is rivaled only by its culinary scene, famed for its Cantonese cuisine. Discover historical gems like the Chen Clan Ancestral Hall, and perhaps, venture out to the Kaiping Diaolou, offering a unique glimpse into rural Chinese heritage.
