About this journey
Combine Beijing’s imperial heritage with a slower passage through the Three Gorges and a final stay in Shanghai. This ten-day China tour balances private land sightseeing and a scheduled river cruise, with the sailing calendar shaping the middle of the journey.
Suggested format: 10 days. The final route and inclusions are confirmed in your personal proposal.
Your suggested route
Beijing: palaces and the Great Wall
Begin with a well-paced introduction to the capital. A Great Wall day contrasts with the courtyards and ceremonial spaces of the Forbidden City area. The exact sightseeing order follows reservation availability, closing days and your arrival time.
Connect to your Yangtze sailing
Travel to the confirmed embarkation city and settle into the selected ship and cabin category. The cruise is a shared vessel experience, even when the land arrangements are private. Shore excursions, optional outings and onboard inclusions depend on the particular sailing.
Disembark and continue to Shanghai
Coordinate the final river transfer with your onward flight or train. In Shanghai, explore the waterfront and a contrasting neighborhood rather than spending the entire visit in transit. Cruise direction and available connections may require a different allocation of nights.

Multi-region China journeys
A multi-city itinerary is only as good as its connections. We compare hotel-to-hotel travel time, not just the scheduled flight or train duration. Tell us about large luggage, children, mobility needs and the number of hotel changes you find comfortable. For most parties, removing one stop can create a more rewarding journey than adding another domestic flight.
International arrival and departure flights should be coordinated with the agreed land route. We confirm which domestic tickets, hotels, meals, guiding and admissions are included. Optional shows, premium rooms and specialist activities are quoted clearly rather than implied by a destination name.
Planning questions
Can we choose the cruise ship?
Yes, subject to the dates and availability. Cabin category, vessel, sailing direction, shore visits and included meals are confirmed in the proposal rather than assumed from a sample itinerary.
Can we adapt this to our dates and interests?
Yes. Share your travel dates, party size, starting and finishing cities, and the experience you most want to include. We check the connections and availability before preparing a route with clear services and pricing.
