About this journey

Travel from China’s imperial north into Yunnan’s lake country and historic trading towns before finishing in Shanghai. This thirteen-day route connects Beijing, Xi’an, Kunming, Dali and Lijiang, with time to understand how regional landscapes and communities differ.

Suggested format: 13 days. The final route and inclusions are confirmed in your personal proposal.

Your suggested route

The historical foundations: Beijing and Xi’an

Visit the Great Wall and Beijing’s imperial sights, then continue to Xi’an for the Terracotta Warriors. These first stages emphasize historical interpretation. Evening shows and special dinners can be requested but are not essential stops on every version of the route.

Kunming, Dali and Lijiang

Use Kunming as the gateway to Yunnan, then explore Dali’s old town and Erhai setting before continuing toward Lijiang. Market visits and craft encounters are arranged respectfully and depend on local schedules. We distinguish genuine everyday places from staged cultural programs.

A relaxed finish in Shanghai

Fly onward for a final introduction to Shanghai’s neighborhoods and waterfront. Extra days can be added in Yunnan for Shaxi or a slower village stay. A Shangri-La extension requires additional travel time and should not be squeezed into an already full route.

A closer look

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 include Tiger Leaping Gorge?

It may be discussed as an optional extension only after current access and weather are checked. We do not guarantee a trail opening or replace required travel time with an unrealistic hiking stop.

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.
