Tour · 7 nights · with G Adventures
Seven nights with G Adventures tracing China’s past and present, from Beijing’s Temple of Heaven to the Terracotta Warriors and Shanghai’s futuristic skyline, all in a small-group escorted tour style.
Highlights
Tai Chi session at the Temple of Heaven, Beijing
Hike along the Jinshanling section of the Great Wall
Terracotta Warriors Museum visit in Xi’an
Wander the alleyways of Xi’an’s Muslim Quarter
Huangpu River night cruise, Shanghai
The trip begins in Beijing with a Tai Chi session led by a local master at the Temple of Heaven — a rare start that feels more about settling in than rushing around. A hike along the quieter Jinshanling section of the Great Wall offers wide views of the surrounding hills, with a chance to chat over a snack high on the ramparts.
Journeys
Next is Xi’an, where the Terracotta Warriors await in their vast, eerily silent pits. The nearby Muslim Quarter provides a contrast, its winding alleys lined with food stalls, spices and crafts. Finally, Shanghai moves the pace forward once more: a night cruise on the Huangpu River and a stroll along the Bund reveal how tradition jostles with the glitter of glass skyscrapers.
G Adventures leads this small-group tour with expert guides and local contacts, bringing both history and modern China into focus without feeling hurried. Alongside included meals like Peking duck and Xiao Long Bao, there’s a balance of organised activity and free time to wander the city streets at your own pace.
