14 days of Beijing - Xi'an - Guilin - Yangshuo - Guilin - Zhangjiajie - Shanghai
Product code：SG11
Beijing – where emperors once ruled and the Great Wall snakes across misty mountains. From Tian'anmen Square to the Forbidden City's gilded halls, from the Temple of Heaven to the Summer Palace's pavilions—every corner holds a story. Rickshaws carry you through hutong alleyways, while a toast of red wine on the Wall seals the memory of imperial grandeur.
Xi'an – where terracotta warriors guard a silent empire, and Tang dynasty melodies mingle with dumpling feasts. Walk the ancient walls, shape clay with your own hands, and lose yourself in the Muslim Quarter's vibrant chaos—where Silk Road echoes still linger.
Guilin – where karst peaks rise like jade-green dreams from the Li River's mirrored surface. Cruise through painted landscapes, explore Reed Flute Cave's glittering chambers, and wander rural paths to a villager's home—nature's own gallery unfolding with every bend.
Zhangjiajie – where sandstone pillars pierce the clouds like fingers reaching for heaven, and floating mountains inspired another world. Ascend by glass elevator, brave the world's highest glass bridge, and trace Golden Whip Stream through towering peaks. Ride Tianmen's cableway through mist to the very gate of the sky—a landscape sculpted by the gods.
Shanghai – where past meets future. Explore ancient art at Shanghai Museum, stroll Yu Garden's pavilions, and browse the lively bazaar. Walk the Bund, cruise the Huangpu for skyline views, then enjoy breakfast before departing independently. Taxis available. Memories to last!
Key Highlights:
- Mutianyu Great Wall – Hike along this remarkably restored section, ascend by cable car, and toast with red wine atop ancient watchtowers as the wall snakes endlessly into misty mountains.
- Forbidden City – Step into the world of emperors as you wander the largest imperial palace on earth—a vast complex of 9,000 rooms, where gilded halls, crimson walls, and the hidden Treasure Gallery whisper secrets of China's dynastic glory.
- Terracotta Army – Stand before thousands of life-sized warriors, each with a unique face and expression, frozen in time for over two millennia—a silent legion guarding the tomb of China's first emperor.
- Li River – Glide through a living Chinese painting, where karst pinnacles pierce the mist like jade-green giants, and every bend reveals a scene of timeless beauty—the very soul of Guilin's landscape.
- Avatar Mountain – Gaze in awe at the floating sandstone pillars of Zhangjiajie that inspired the world of Pandora, rising from ancient forests like giants reaching for heaven.
- Zhangjiajie Glass Bridge – Brave the world's highest and longest glass-bottom bridge, suspended over a plunging canyon—a heart-pounding walk among the clouds.
- Tianmen Mountain – Ascend by cable car through swirling mists to the "Gate of Heaven," a natural archway carved into the cliff, where glass skywalks offer vertiginous views over the abyss.
- Shanghai – Soak in Shanghai’s futuristic skyline and vibrant urban energy.
