10 Day China & Hong Kong in Style
10 Day China & Hong Kong in Style
Ancient wonders, gleaming skyscrapers, UNESCO World Heritage sites, and more await on this exciting adventure that blends China’s captivating past with its ambitious present. From Tiananmen Square to the Great Wall, from the Terra-Cotta Warriors to glittering Shanghai and stupendous Hong Kong, this tour offers everything you love about China (plus everything you don’t know you love yet) in a handsome, luxurious package.
The adventure kicks off in Beijing with a private tour of some of the Chinese capital’s most famous sites. Here, you’ll explore Tiananmen Square – at 90 acres, the world’s largest public square – and step inside the Forbidden City, the incredible imperial palace complex that has captivated visitors for hundreds of years, and the Temple of Heaven, an UNESCO-protected oasis of calm amid Beijing’s endless bustle. Later, explore the immaculate pavilions, gardens, and walkways of the Summer Palace (another UNESCO World Heritage site) before coming face-to-face with the ancient world’s most ambitious architectural feat on a private tour of a restored section of the Great Wall before returning to the city for a dinner of Peking duck at a popular restaurant.
Most know Xi’an, your next stop, as the seat of imperial dynasties and the eastern terminus of the Silk Road, but it’s also served as home to one of China’s largest Muslim communities for over 1,000 years. Upon arrival, you’ll step out on an engaging private evening walking tour of the city’s Muslim district, visit the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, and dine on delicious dumplings. Then, hop aboard a bicycle and pedal out to meet the city’s most famous residents, the Terra-Cotta Warriors, on a private cycling tour before taking in a spectacular cultural performance over dinner.
From Xi’an, the scene shifts 860 miles east to the ultramodern port city of Shanghai where you’ll spend a day exploring nearby Zhujiajio, the “Venice of the East,” on a private cruise through its canals before relaxing in the serene confines of the ancient Yu Garden. Last stop: dazzling and dynamic Hong Kong. First, take a private tour of Kowloon’s most famous sites, starting with Kowloon Walled City Park (an idyllic garden upon which once stood a stone fort that gradually became one of the world’s most notorious slums), the Taoist Wong Tai Sin temple, and the Buddhist Chi Lin Nunnery. The tour wraps up with a fascinating half-day private tour of Hong Kong through which you’ll discover how this humble fishing village grew into one of the world’s most cosmopolitan cities; glide into Victoria Harbor aboard the iconic Star Ferry, ride the world’s steepest funicular railway, and visit a floating junk-boat community before finishing up strolling the markets of Stanley on Repulse Bay.
