China rewards travelers who go with a plan. The country is vast, the language barrier is real outside major hotels, and entry paperwork must be handled in advance. Our specialists take care of every step so you can focus on 3,000 years of history and a startlingly modern present.
Why China for your vacation
Standing on the Great Wall as it snakes over the mountains north of Beijing is one of travel's great moments, and it is only the beginning. The Forbidden City, Temple of Heaven and hutong alleys of Beijing, the 8,000 life-size Terracotta Warriors guarding an emperor's tomb in Xi'an, the neon skyline of Shanghai above the colonial Bund, the karst peaks along the Li River near Guilin and the giant pandas of Chengdu each belong on a lifetime list. High-speed trains and frequent internal flights make it possible to see several of these in ten to fourteen days, and hotels in major cities are excellent. China's regional cuisines, from Peking duck to Sichuan hotpot, are a trip in themselves.
What's included in a China package
Every China package is customized to your dates and interests. A typical itinerary includes:
- Round-trip flights on major airlines from your US gateway, with nonstop service to Beijing and Shanghai from several cities.
- High-speed rail or internal flights between Beijing, Xi'an, Shanghai and any further stops.
- Hotels with breakfast included, from well-known international brands and independent hotels to courtyard boutique properties.
- Private English-speaking guides and drivers for the Great Wall, Forbidden City, Terracotta Warriors and city tours, including entrance tickets.
- Optional add-ons: a Li River cruise from Guilin, the panda base in Chengdu, a Yangtze River cruise, Zhangjiajie's stone pillars or a Hong Kong finale.
Call for current pricing on your dates; we also advise on the timing of your visa application.
Best time to visit China
The most pleasant seasons are spring, from April to May, and autumn, from September to October, when Beijing and Xi'an enjoy mild, clear days and the Great Wall is at its most photogenic. Summer, from June to August, is hot and humid across most of the country with a rainy season in the south and heavy domestic crowds at major sights. Winter, from December to February, is cold and dry in the north with far fewer visitors and occasional snow on the Wall, while Shanghai and the south stay milder. Two dates to plan around: Chinese New Year, in late January or February, and the National Day Golden Week in early October, when trains, hotels and attractions are extremely busy. Late April to late May is often the single best window.
Where to stay: areas and resort styles
In Beijing, hotels around Wangfujing and the Dongcheng district put you within reach of the Forbidden City and Tiananmen Square, while converted courtyard houses in the hutongs offer a more traditional stay. Xi'an's hotels cluster inside the ancient city walls near the Bell Tower and the Muslim Quarter. In Shanghai, the Bund and People's Square area gives you the historic riverfront, the former French Concession offers tree-lined streets and boutique hotels, and Pudong has skyline towers with sweeping views. Guilin and Yangshuo add riverside resorts among the karst hills, and Chengdu has a mix of international hotels and teahouse-district guesthouses. We work with well-known hotel brands and independent properties in each city.
Things to do in China
- Hike a restored section of the Great Wall at Mutianyu or Jinshanling, away from the biggest crowds.
- Tour the Forbidden City, Temple of Heaven and Summer Palace, then take a rickshaw through the hutongs.
- Stand before the Terracotta Warriors in Xi'an, cycle the city walls and eat in the Muslim Quarter.
- Walk the Bund at night, ascend a Pudong tower and explore Yu Garden and the former French Concession in Shanghai.
- Cruise the Li River from Guilin to Yangshuo and bike through rice paddies.
- Visit the giant panda breeding base and sample hotpot in Chengdu.
- Sail the Yangtze through the Three Gorges or see the sandstone pillars of Zhangjiajie.
- Take a day trip to the water town of Zhujiajiao or the gardens of Suzhou.
Getting there from the US
Nonstop flights link Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, New York, Chicago and other gateways with Beijing and Shanghai, with flying times of roughly 12 to 14 hours from the West Coast and roughly 14 to 16 hours from the East Coast. One-stop options via Hong Kong, Seoul, Tokyo or Taipei are also common. US passport holders need a visa to enter China and should apply through a Chinese consulate or visa service well before departure; short visa-exempt transit programs exist for certain routings, and rules change, so verify current requirements before travel. The currency is the Chinese yuan, also called renminbi, and mobile payment apps linked to a foreign card are now widely used by visitors. Mandarin is the official language, and all of China observes one time zone, UTC+8, twelve hours ahead of Eastern Time during US daylight saving.
Who this package suits
Couples enjoy the mix of imperial history and Shanghai glamour, with Guilin's river scenery as a romantic finale. Families love the pandas, the Great Wall and kid-friendly hotels; private guides keep the pace flexible. Seniors appreciate fully escorted touring with comfortable vehicles and elevator hotels; see our senior travel reservation service. Groups traveling for heritage, education or business can use our group travel flights desk, and for the Pacific crossing many travelers book business class or first class. Solo travelers benefit most from private guides, since English is limited outside hotels.
