Suggested route
The story
unfolds.
The stages below illustrate a route, not a fixed departure. We will adjust the duration, pace, connections and experiences around your dates.
Beijing, with context
Arrive, adjust to the time difference and explore the capital. Give the Great Wall its own considered place in the schedule, alongside imperial history and neighbourhood life.
A softer rhythm in Chengdu
Continue to Chengdu for pandas, Sichuan food and an afternoon that leaves room for tea. Visits and walking effort are shaped around your travelling party.
Shanghai, then home
Finish with gardens, waterfront architecture and contemporary city life. Extend to fourteen days for a water town visit or extra free time before departure.
