China tours

China is rich in history and unique culture. On our trips to China, you’ll get to experience some of the must-visit spots including:

• The Terracotta Army, one of the country’s most famous UNESCO World Heritage Sites
• Yuyuan Garden, also known as the Garden of Happiness
• The Yangtze River,  the third-longest river in the world

On our tours of China, you’ll visit some of the most popular landmarks, including:

• The Great Wall, one of the world’s most impressive structures
• The Temple of Heaven, an incredible imperial complex of buildings
• The Imperial Palace, also referred to as the Forbidden City

You can see all of these on our Highlights of China: Beijing to Shanghai tour.

The cuisine in China is as diverse as its history. With each dynasty, new recipes and cooking styles emerged. The food on our trips to China will introduce you to many of the country’s Eight Cuisines: Shandong, Sichuan, Guangdong, Fujian, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Hunan, and Anhui.

Popular ingredients throughout the country include noodles, tofu, bok choy, bitter melon, Chinese broccoli, and meats like chicken, duck, and shrimp. Most meals are served with rice, and are often seasoned with ginger, garlic, and white pepper.

If your China tour visits the Yangtze River, you may sample Anhui cuisine. One traditional Anhui dish includes braised turtle with ham.

We recommend the spring and fall, when the weather tends to be warm and dry. Summers can be very hot and humid and winters can be bitterly cold. The in-between seasons are the perfect time to visit China on one of our tours.

Here are 5 things to know before you visit Beijing.

Our China vacation packages are between 12 and 15 days long. China is one of the largest countries in the world, so you’ll never run out of things to do.

When on an escorted tour of China, you’ll get to visit all the beautiful sites without the hassle of planning. You’ll also have an expert guide by your side to teach you all about the history, culture, and so much more.

One of the best parts of visiting China on a group tour is that you’ll make new friends, too. Traveling brings people closer together—especially in a place with different culture than your own.
