Your China Holiday Itinerary

  • Day 1-3: Shanghai is the perfect place to begin your trip to China. Shop up a storm on Nanjing Road, then sample some exotic street food at People’s Square. Next, head to the Bund, Jade Buddha Temple and Yuyuan Garden and Bazaar. Cruise the winding canals of the “Venice of the East” at the charming Zhouzhuang Water Village.

  • Day 4-5: Fly north to the nation’s capital, Beijing. Spend a day checking out Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City, the Temple of Heaven and the picturesque Summer Palace. In the evening, pick up souvenirs on Wangfujing Dajie (the Golden Street) or relax and unwind at one of Sanlitun’s glitzy nightspots. Start the next day with a hearty breakfast — the Great Wall of China awaits!

  • Day 6-7: Ride the train to Xi’an. Visit the iconic Terracotta Warriors then explore the expansive fortifications of the City Wall and the fascinating Muslim Quarter.

Museums and historical landmarks top the list of must-sees on Shanghai holidays

Shanghai is one of the most visited cities in China, and that's no accident. You'll find quite a bit to see and do here including the legendary Shanghai Museum and the China Art Museum. If you're looking for a more serene experience, however, you can always visit the temple and the iconic Yu Garden. Being a financial hub, the shopping opportunities are impressive as well.

Hainan holidays offer water sports, scenic trails and sacred temples

When you visit Hainan, you'll find yourself on China's southernmost island. Being an island, beaches are among the most popular attractions here, but you'll still find plenty to do further inland. Coastal visitors typically partake in fishing and watersports while inland visitors spend time around Five Finger Mountain and its scenic trails and viewpoints. Plus, you can check out several historical temples too.

Absorb the sacred beauty of Tibet

Tibet is one of the most beautiful places on the planet where you'll find plenty to see and do. Sacred mountains and picturesque temples are available for visit, but you'll also find wide-open grasslands and lakes if you're looking for even more serenity. Just keep in mind that the entire region is at a fairly high altitude, so you'll need to prepare for that change when you visit.

Indulge in shopping, tech and amusement parks on a holiday to Shenzhen

The city of Shenzhen is most widely known for its expansive shopping opportunities and entertainment venues.
