Highlights

Beijing: from ancient walled capital to showpiece megacity in barely a century, it spins a breathless yarn of history, culture, and innovation.

Xi’an: Xi'an’s Ming-era city walls remain intact, vendors of all descriptions still crowd the narrow lanes of the warren-like Muslim Quarter.

Chengdu: named Unesco's first-ever City of Gastronomy, with a brimming teahouse culture and home of the giant pandas.

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.

Itinerary
