Beijing: from ancient walled capital to showpiece megacity in barely a century, it spins a breathless yarn of history, culture, and innovation.
Datong: The town is the gateway to the Yungang Caves, one of China’s most outstanding Buddhist treasures, as well as the Hanging Monastery, the world’s oldest wooden pagoda.
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.
Nanjing: one of the best-looking cities in the country, boasting a rich and impressive historical heritage.
Shanghai: home to the world's second-tallest tower and a city with a diverse architectural heritage is like no other city on earth.
History buffs, rejoice—the Chinese Ancient Heartland, Private Tour is a 13-day journey that brings China’s storied past to life. Beginning and ending in Beijing and traveling through Nanjing, Shanghai, and more, this relaxed itinerary is ideal for seniors or anyone eager for a deep cultural dive without demanding physical activity.
Explore the Forbidden City, marvel at the Water Great Wall—a scenic, less-visited section partly submerged in water—and discover the Yungang Grotto, an early treasure trove of Buddhist art. Walk the ancient streets of Pingyao, once China’s financial center, and stand in awe before the Terracotta Warriors. Modern history comes alive at the Shanghai Propaganda Poster Museum, while the Bund and city’s vibrant neighborhoods showcase Shanghai’s dynamic evolution.
This private tour package’s USP is its rare combination of historical depth and comfortable pacing, offering a comprehensive sweep of China’s ancient heartland with all arrangements handled for you.
