Days 1–7: Flight and Beijing

The trip kicks off in Beijing, China’s lively capital city. You’ll have leisure time to check out some of Beijing’s most iconic landmarks.

  • Tiananmen Square: Once the gateway to China’s Imperial Palace, it’s now a popular historical site. Mao Zedong’s remains are on display at the Chairman Mao Memorial Hall, and there are artifacts from the Ming dynasty at the National Museum of China.
  • See the Great Wall on one of the optional tours offered (additional fees apply).

Days 7–10: Shanghai and Departure

The final leg of the tour brings you to Shanghai, the “bright pearl” along the Yangtze River.

  • The Shanghai Museum: Designed to look like a bronze cooking vessel, this museum houses an extensive collection of ancient jade and bronze artifacts, Buddhist sculptures, and thousands of early Chinese coins.
  • City God Temple, which dates back to the 15th century, features ornate pavilions and teahouses. Outside, vendors hawk incense, jewelry, and candy.
  • The Bund: Dozens of historical buildings in more than 50 architectural styles—including baroque, Gothic, and Romanesque—line this area along the Huangpu River.

Such an amazing trip! Everything ran smoothly and we had the best tour guide we could have hoped for. Our tour guide Nok went above and beyond for us and showed us a lot of bonus stuff that wasn’t in the itinerary. She also taught us a lot about the Thai culture and people that was very informative and life changing. I would recommend this trip to anyone

This tour was awesome, very organized and the hotel staff went above and beyond. My friend's mom (elderly woman) fell out first night there and didn't want to come to dinner with us. The staff arranged for someone to check on her hourly until our return. The entire trip was very accommodating. Would recommend!

I booked tour through Groupons in August for a 17 day tour with Smartours departing in February. November 4th Smartours sends emailing cancelling the trip with no reason. I call. They say I can change date to a week b4 or after original date. So I do and they want more money, $600. more. Smartours did not honor the agreement through Groupons. Rep calls asking why I cancelled. Duh
