Detailed Itinerary
Day 1 Beijing
Day 2 Beijing
Explore bustling Beijing including the famous Tiananmen Square and Forbidden City. Due to restrictions in China after the pandemic, the maximum daily capacity in the Forbidden City has been reduced from 80,000 to 30,000. This significant decrease in daily tickets has had a great impact on availability for both individuals and group tours to secure tickets, especially during he summer season. Our local team works very hard to secure tickets for each group. However, on the off chance we are unable to secure tickets to the Forbidden City, we will visit the Summer Palace and the Temple of Heaven, places of similar architecture and importance
Day 3 Beijing
Head out to discover the wonders of the Great Wall of China.
Day 4 Beijing/Xi’an
Day 5 Xi’an
Day 6 Xi’an/Chengdu
Hotpot is a very local way to have a meal. We sit around a table with a pot built in the middle – the pot is divided into 2 halves (spicy vs. non-spicy usually). The restaurants flavoured soup is added and brought to a boil, then we can start adding our food in the pot to cook ( including vegetable, meat or fish). The table also offers various sorts of herbs, spices, oil etc so you can make your own soup to taste.
Day 7 Chengdu
