Morning light slides over Tiananmen; later the Yangtze widens to a slow theater of cliffs and barges. On this 11‑day loop you’ll trade Beijing’s broad avenues and Ming‑era timber for Xi’an’s compact city wall and the river’s tight, dramatic cuts through the Three Gorges. The rhythm of the trip alternates city walking, high‑speed rail hops and multi‑night river cruising—each move reveals a different face of China.
