General information:
This 8-day journey covers over 2,000 km, taking you to China’s most iconic highlights—entirely by train and road, without flights. With so much packed into a short time, some days involve longer travel, so be prepared for full, exciting days of exploration.
To fully immerse yourself in China’s vibrant cities, we highly recommend spending extra time in Shanghai or Beijing before or after your adventure to soak in more of their culture, cuisine, and charm.
China’s famous landmarks attract large numbers of local and international visitors, so we recommend patience and comfortable shoes, especially when visiting popular sites on your itinerary.
Accommodation: automatically shared in double occupancy. If you book with an even number of guests, you will be sharing the room with your travel companion. If you book solo, you will share with another guest (might be of opposite gender). If you prefer to stay alone in your room, please purchase the single supplement.
Travel insurance is mandatory for all our travellers and must be taken out within a reasonable time after booking. It is not included in the price of the trip. Your travel insurance must provide cover against personal accident, death, medical expenses and emergency repatriation with a recommended minimum coverage of US$200,000 for each of the categories of cover. We also strongly recommend it covers cancellation, curtailment, personal liability and loss of luggage and personal effects. You must provide your travel insurance policy number and the insurance company's 24-hour emergency contact number on the first day of your trip; you will not be able to join the trip without these details. If you have travel insurance connected to your credit card or bank account please ensure you have details of the participating insurer, the insurance policy number and emergency contact number with you rather than the bank's name and credit card details.
