About the trip
This 14-night G Adventures tour threads through two countries that unfold contrasting stories of East Asia. Beginning in China’s capital, Beijing, the itinerary includes a hike along the well-preserved Mutianyu section of the Great Wall and a look at the Terracotta Warriors near Xi’an, alongside free time to dawdle through the Forbidden City or cycle atop the ancient city walls.
The journey shifts gears with a stop in Shanghai, where the Master of Nets Garden and the twisting lanes of Shangtang Street offer quiet corners to ponder China’s past amid its busy streets. Crossing into South Korea, the tour moves to Seoul, where the hanok houses of Bukchon village and the heavily guarded DMZ offer sharply different chapters of Korean history.
Highlights include a night in a temple in Gyeongju with a view of the ancient tumuli and an acrobatics show in Shanghai. The pace invites time both in guided groups and for independent wanderings, with a G Adventures CEO on hand across the tour to help unfurl the story behind the sites, which are at times busy but never hurried.
