Highlights
Guangzhou: formerly known in the West as Canton, it has long been China's busiest trade hub, establishing connections with the outside world dating back to the 16th century.
Xiamen: formerly known in Western circles as Amoy, this island city is emerging as southern China’s most sophisticated city.
Guilin: Guilin's natural endowments will amaze you, yet, thanks to imperfect urban planning, there is a pervasive feeling that the city is past its prime.
Shanghai: home to the world's second-tallest tower and a city with a diverse architectural heritage is like no other cities on earth.
Beijing: From ancient walled capital to showpiece megacity in barely a century, it spins a breathless yarn of history, culture and innovation.
Itinerary
From colonial boulevards to earthen fortresses, the China Explorer, Private Tour invites you to experience the nation’s diversity over twelve captivating days. Starting in Guangzhou, you’ll stroll tree-lined Shamian Island, a tranquil enclave of preserved colonial architecture, before venturing to Hakka House—Mulan’s cinematic home, renowned for its ingenious defensive design.
Sail the Li River, named one of the world’s top watery wonders, and walk the less-frequented Water Great Wall, offering panoramic views and serenity far from tourist crowds. In Beijing, stand on Tiananmen Square, site of pivotal moments in Chinese history, and explore sections of the Great Wall dating back to the Ming Dynasty. Each day delivers a fresh perspective, with all accommodations, transport, and meals arranged for a stress-free experience.
The USP? A rare blend of urban charm, architectural marvels, and natural wonders, this tour package is specially crafted for seniors and those who appreciate rich variety at a relaxed, enjoyable pace.
