Wild China

This 15-day journey stretches 3,200 kilometers. On your very first trip to China, you'll start in Beijing, the nation's capital, traveling south then east to experience an extraordinary variety of Chinese landscapes all in one go. Begin in the ancient capital Beijing and dive into thousands of years of imperial history. Head south to Zhangjiajie, nestled amid southwestern mountains, home to world-famous floating sandstone peaks straight out of a fantasy scene. Next, travel to Chongqing, the surreal 8D mountain city on the upper Yangtze River. Witness light rail trains passing through residential buildings, glowing riverside nightscapes, and taste authentic spicy hot pot. Then travel east across vast land to Shanghai, a global metropolis. Admire the striking contrast between century-old European architecture on the Bund and futuristic skyscrapers in Lujiazui, and embrace the unique charm where Eastern and Western cultures intertwine. Wrap up your trip peacefully in Wuzhen, a tranquil water town dotted with stone bridges, winding canals, red lanterns and wooden rowboats. Over half a month, you'll traverse four major regions: North, Central, Southwest and East China. Immerse yourself in vastly different landforms, local traditions and distinctive cuisines, and get a well-rounded first impression of diverse, beautiful China.
