Days 1–4: Flight and Beijing
Beijing’s imperial past is ever present: you can hardly walk a block without seeing ornate temples, ancient alleyways lined with shops and teahouses (called hútòng), and open-air markets that have been around for centuries. At the center of it all stands the Forbidden City, which served as a royal residence to 24 emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties. And of course, there’s an optional tour for the Great Wall of China, which winds its way across the landscape north of Beijing. After an overnight flight, you’ll arrive in Beijing on day 2.
- Optional full-day tour: Stops include Tiananmen Square, the Summer Palace, and the Forbidden City (day 4; $55/ person).
- Optional excursions: Great Wall of China (day 3; $57/person or $69/person depending on travel date) or a Peking duck dinner ($32–$49/person)
Days 5–7: Xian
The ancient city of Xi’an puts its 3,000-year history on full display. Most of the city is still surrounded by a moat and a 50-foot thick stone wall dating back to the 7th century. At Xi’an’s center you’ll find the Drum and Bell Towers, two pagoda-like structures that were used to keep time during the Ming Dynasty.
- Optional history lesson: You can see some of the 370,000 cultural artifacts at the Shaanxi Provincial History Museum before flying to Shanghai on day 7.
- Optional excursions: six-course dinner and Tang Dynasty show (day 5; $59/person), dumpling dinner (day 6; $15/person), and Terracotta Army (day 6; $45/person).
Days 7–10: Shanghai and Departure
Ultramodern Shanghai is cut in two by the Huangpu River. Puxi, the city’s historic center, is on the west bank; Pudong and its jaw-dropping skyline are on the east. Take an optional river cruise for an up-close look at high-rises that seem to have come from The Jetsons, including the world’s second-tallest building, the Shanghai Tower.
- Free time: You’ll have day 9 to explore the city on your own; consider a visit to the Shanghai Museum or the 88th-floor observation deck of the Jin Mao Tower.
- Optional excursions: nighttime tour with river cruise and dinner (day 7; $35/person), acrobatic show with dinner (day 8; $29/person), Yuyuan Garden and 6-foot jade Buddha (day 8; $49/person), and full-day tour of Suzhou with lunch (day 9; $59/person)
