About the trip

This eleven-night escorted tour by G Adventures begins in Beijing, where the Great Wall stretches across mountain ridges at Mutianyu, and the city's imperial heart unfolds at Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City. The chance to sample Peking Duck amid this bustling capital cowboys the senses.

Next comes Xi'an, home to an army of Terracotta Warriors standing in silent formation and the ancient city walls you can cycle atop. A bullet train speeds you onward to Tibet, where the pace slows beneath Himalayan peaks. Lhasa's Potala Palace offers a quieter grandeur, while Jokhang Temple and Sera Monastery invite contemplation. The monks’ scripture debates, when scheduled, provide a glimpse of local traditions.

Along the way, encounters with locals include a plant-dyeing workshop near Beijing and a traditional winery tasting. The Dujiangyan Panda Base reveals China's giant pandas, while quiet moments in Lhasa allow for a choice of thangka painting or Tibetan cooking classes. The journey mixes high-speed trains, flights and walking, with familiar comforts blended with the occasional basic accommodation in Tibet.
