11-Day China Classic: Beijing, Xi'an, Shanghai & Suzhou
11 days / 10 nightsBeijing · Xi'an · Shanghai · Suzhou4 reviews
Overview
This meticulously crafted 11-day journey threads together four of China's most iconic cities — Beijing's imperial grandeur, Xi'an's Silk Road legacy, Suzhou's classical garden poetry, and Shanghai's electric modernity. Each stop is chosen not just for its landmarks, but for the texture of daily life between them: a hutong breakfast, a Muslim Quarter evening, a slow boat along Suzhou's canal network. This is China at its most legible — a journey for first-time visitors who want depth, not just breadth.
Tour Highlights
- Walk the wild, unrestored sections of the Great Wall above Jiankou
- Witness the Terracotta Army — 8,000 soldiers frozen for two millennia
- Glide through Suzhou's canal district by wooden gondola at dusk
- Explore a living Beijing hutong with a local resident as guide
- Ascend the Bund waterfront as Shanghai's skyline blazes at night
