Morning light spills across the Forbidden City's red roofs as your small group assembles at the hotel — the city hums with a layered history that reaches from imperial courts to cutting-edge skylines. Over eight days you'll move like a curious time traveler: wind along the restored stones of Mutianyu, feel the hush inside the Terracotta Army galleries, then watch Shanghai's riverside towers blink awake at dusk.
moderate.
8 days.
Good walking endurance for multiple days of urban touring and uneven historic sites; not strenuous but expect stairs and cobbles.
Most travelers need a Chinese entry visa obtained in advance; verify requirements for your nationality and apply with enough lead time.
This small-group tour includes bilingual (English and Chinese) guides to handle logistics, history, and local tips.
12 curated meals and the listed major admissions (Forbidden City, Mutianyu, Terracotta Army, Yu Garden, etc.) are included per the itinerary; some optional extras may be paid onboard.
Each day has scheduled visits and short blocks of free time—expect evenings and occasional afternoons for independent exploration or rest.
This route traces China's imperial, Tang-era, and colonial-era layers—Beijing and Xi'an were capital cities across dynasties, while Shanghai grew as a major treaty-port in the 19th and 20th centuries.
Major sites manage visitor flow to protect fragile structures; travelers should follow marked paths, avoid touching artifacts, and support local conservation by using designated eateries and licensed guides.
