MAP OF ASIA
Beijing: The Grand Opening to Your China Tour
For many travellers, Beijing is the natural beginning to their tours to China. As the capital, it offers both scale and intimacy,monumental architecture alongside hidden alleyways and street markets that pulse with daily life.The Great Wall of China, stretching over 13,000 miles, remains one of the world’s most remarkable feats of engineering. With several accessible sections near the capital, no thoughtfully designed China tour package would be complete without walking its ancient stones.
Yet Beijing’s allure extends well beyond its most famous monument. The Forbidden City, Tiananmen Square, the Temple of Confucius and the serene Fragrant Hills each offer distinct windows into China’s imperial and philosophical heritage. Even the city’s storied Ghost Street, once a shadowy black market and now a lively culinary haven, reflects the layered narratives that shape our luxury China tours.
Our 3-day Beijing journey provides a refined balance of celebrated highlights and hidden discoveries, a graceful introduction to China.
Beyond the Capital: Expanding Your China Tour
China’s diversity invites exploration beyond a single city. Our longer private China tours connect regions seamlessly, creating journeys that feel both expansive and deeply personal.Yunnan & Shangri-La
In northwestern Yunnan, near the Tibetan plateau, the mythical land of Shangri-La reveals itself in mountain vistas, ancient monasteries and villages where traditional dress remains part of daily life. Along historic routes such as the South Silk Road and Tea Horse Road, time seems to soften.Nearby Dali, framed by lakes and hills, offers a cinematic landscape of wooden homes and distant peaks. Including Yunnan within your China tour package adds a cultural and spiritual dimension rarely found in more conventional itineraries.
Shanghai: Modern China in Motion
Where Beijing reflects imperial legacy, Shanghai embodies contemporary ambition. Colonial façades along the Bund face a futuristic skyline; art districts and world-class dining complement historic neighbourhoods.As a long-standing gateway to China, Shanghai blends heritage and innovation, making it an essential chapter in many of our luxury China tours.
