Explore ancient cities, scenic rivers, sacred monasteries, and modern skylines with expert guides and seamless service throughout this unforgettable journey across East Asia’s most iconic destinations.
Arrive in Beijing and enjoy VIP airport assistance for a smooth arrival. A private car takes you to your hotel, where you’ll stay for three nights. Settle in and relax after your flight. Beijing is a city full of history, from ancient temples and palaces to modern skyscrapers and lively streets. Over the next few days, you’ll explore both the historic landmarks and the vibrant local life of China’s capital. Your journey begins here in this fascinating city where the past and present live side by side.
Meet your private guide for a full-day tour of Beijing’s highlights. Visit the Forbidden City, once home to emperors, then see the peaceful Temple of Heaven. Later, walk through the gardens and pavilions of the Summer Palace. Explore the hutongs—narrow alleys lined with traditional houses—to experience local life. Climb a hilltop for sweeping views across Beijing’s skyline. This day offers a deep dive into the rich heritage and modern rhythm of the city, where every street corner tells a story and centuries of culture are still alive today.
Today, head out to the Great Wall of China with your private guide. Visit a quieter section for fewer crowds and more scenic views. Walk along this world-famous monument and take in the mountains stretching into the distance. Your guide will share stories about the Wall’s long history and how it protected China for centuries. It’s a day of fresh air, wide-open views, and a close look at one of the greatest feats of human engineering in history. Return to Beijing with a sense of awe and appreciation.
After breakfast, transfer privately to the airport or train station and travel to Shanghai. On arrival, a new guide and driver will meet you and take you to your hotel for a three-night stay. Shanghai is modern, stylish, and full of energy. Its skyline glows with futuristic towers, yet old colonial buildings still line the riverbanks. Take some time to relax or begin exploring this exciting city. In the coming days, you’ll discover the rich blend of past and present that defines Shanghai’s fast-changing character.
Enjoy a full day exploring Shanghai with your private guide. Walk along the Bund to see grand colonial buildings facing the high-rises of Pudong. Visit the French Concession for tree-lined streets, boutique shops, and European charm. Admire world-class art at the Shanghai Museum or Long Museum. Dive into creative neighbourhoods filled with galleries and cafés. The day blends culture, history, and modern life—showing how Shanghai has grown into one of Asia’s most dynamic cities while keeping its rich heritage alive in every district.
Choose between more time in Shanghai or a day trip with your private guide. You can stay in the city and discover local markets, quiet temples, or more modern art spaces. Alternatively, head to Suzhou or a nearby water town to see old canals, elegant gardens, and peaceful village life. Suzhou is known for classical Chinese gardens, while other towns offer a look at riverside traditions and slower rhythms. Whether you stay or go, today offers a break from the fast pace and a chance to enjoy gentler surroundings.
Fly to Guilin and transfer privately to your hotel, where you’ll stay for two nights. Guilin is famous for its stunning karst mountains, winding rivers, and peaceful scenery. The moment you arrive, you’ll feel the slower pace and fresh air of southern China. From the airport, enjoy your first glimpses of the unusual limestone peaks that make Guilin one of the most photographed places in the country. Rest and relax this afternoon as you prepare for tomorrow’s adventure into some of China’s most beautiful countryside.
Take a morning cruise along the Li River to Yangshuo. This scenic journey winds through lush rice fields and strange, jagged peaks rising straight from the water. Once in Yangshuo, explore the countryside by rickshaw or bicycle with your guide. Visit small villages and quiet roads where local farmers live and work. Enjoy the peaceful rhythm of rural life. The views are like something from a painting—misty mountains, slow rivers, and green fields. Return to Guilin in the evening, ending the day with calm and natural beauty.
Transfer to the airport and fly to Xian, a historic city that was once the starting point of the Silk Road. On arrival, begin your private tour with a walk along the ancient city walls, one of the oldest and best preserved in China. Then visit the bustling Muslim Quarter, known for its markets and food stalls. Finally, head to the Terracotta Warriors, one of China’s greatest archaeological finds—thousands of life-sized soldiers standing in silence, guarding the tomb of China’s first emperor.
Return to the Terracotta Warriors this morning for more time to explore the museum and exhibits. Afterwards, transfer to the airport and fly to Chengdu, the capital of Sichuan Province. On arrival, settle into your hotel for a two-night stay. Known for its relaxed pace and spicy food, Chengdu is also home to the beloved giant panda. Enjoy an evening at leisure or head out for a local hotpot dinner. Your introduction to this laid-back but lively city begins with warm hospitality and famous flavours.
Visit the Chengdu Panda Breeding Centre this morning to see these iconic animals up close. Learn about conservation efforts and how the pandas are cared for. In the afternoon, walk through the Wide and Narrow Alleys, full of traditional buildings, teahouses, and shops. Take a break in People’s Park, where locals play cards, drink tea, and chat. This evening, watch a Sichuan Opera show with colourful costumes and the famous face-changing performance—a cultural treat that gives you a deeper look into local traditions and art.
Transfer privately to the airport and fly to Lhasa, the heart of Tibetan culture. Upon arrival, you’ll be met and taken to your hotel for a three-night stay. Take it easy today as you adjust to the altitude and take in your surroundings. Begin with a gentle introduction to Lhasa’s history and traditions with a short private tour. Visit the Potala Palace from the outside for your first glimpse of this incredible site. Lhasa’s spiritual energy and mountain setting will start to work their quiet magic.
Spend a full day exploring Lhasa with your private guide. Visit the Jokhang Temple, Tibet’s most sacred shrine, where pilgrims from across the region come to pray. Wander through the surrounding Barkhor Market, a lively place filled with shops selling traditional crafts, incense, and prayer wheels. Watch locals perform their daily religious rituals as you walk alongside them. The day offers a moving insight into Tibetan faith and community life, where ancient beliefs still shape every part of daily experience in this highland city.
Today you can tailor your day to your interests. Options include visiting more monasteries, hiking in the hills surrounding the city, or joining a guided meditation. Sites such as Sera Monastery offer the chance to see monks debating Buddhist teachings, while quiet countryside spots provide peaceful views. Your guide will suggest experiences that match your pace and preferences. This is a chance to reflect, recharge, and learn more about Tibet’s rich religious culture and dramatic landscapes in a way that feels personal and meaningful.
Leave Lhasa behind and transfer to the airport for your flight to Hong Kong. After arriving, a private transfer takes you to your hotel for a three-night stay. Hong Kong is a vibrant city of contrasts—gleaming towers and old temples, street food and luxury shopping. After the calm of Tibet, the energy of Hong Kong will feel exciting and fresh. Settle in, enjoy the view from your hotel, and take a walk if you wish. The city is ready to surprise you at every turn.
Explore Hong Kong’s highlights with your private guide. Take a sampan ride in Aberdeen Harbour to see traditional fishing boats alongside luxury yachts. Ride the Peak Tram to Victoria Peak for sweeping views of the skyline. Walk through the buzzing streets of Soho, full of shops, art galleries, and cafés. Visit a temple or two along the way. This full-day tour shows you the many sides of Hong Kong—from its colonial past to its modern pulse—blending history, culture, and incredible cityscapes.
Begin with a morning tour focusing on Hong Kong’s local culture. Visit markets selling herbs, spices, and dried seafood. Learn about traditional Chinese medicine and food customs. Then enjoy time at leisure—shop, take a ferry to Kowloon, or relax in a tea house. The day is yours to spend as you wish. Whether you’re drawn to city life, cuisine, or quiet corners, Hong Kong delivers it all in one compact, lively space. Your final full day is a celebration of choice and contrast.
Today, transfer to the airport for your flight home. Your journey ends with rich memories of imperial palaces, rural beauty, pandas, mountain temples, and city lights.
