Question 1

How should I plan my first 10-day trip to China?

Accepted Answer

For a first visit, choose a classic route that combines two or three contrasting cities: Beijing (the Great Wall and Forbidden City), Xi'an (the Terracotta Army) and Shanghai, or add Guilin's karst landscape. Keep the pace relaxed — 2 to 3 nights per city, travelling by high-speed rail. Tell us your dates, group size and interests, and we will send a detailed day-by-day itinerary with a fixed price within 24 hours.

Question 2

How much does a 10-day private China tour cost?

Accepted Answer

As a guide, our 10-day private tours start at about US$1,290 per person (based on 4 travelers, 4-star hotels, private car, driver and English-speaking guide). The final price depends on group size, hotel standard, travel season and whether meals are included. Send us your dates and we will confirm the exact price within 24 hours.

Question 3

Which cities should I visit on a 10-day China trip?

Accepted Answer

On a 10-day trip we usually suggest no more than three or four cities so you are not rushing. A classic combination is Beijing, Xi'an and Shanghai (with the option to add Guilin), or our Beijing – Henan – Shanghai route covering the Shaolin Temple and the Longmen Grottoes. All itineraries can be adjusted to your pace.

Question 4

What is the best time of year for a 10-day China tour?

Accepted Answer

Spring (April to May) and autumn (September to October) offer the most comfortable weather across most of China. Summer is lively but hot and humid in Beijing, Xi'an and Shanghai, while Guilin is at its greenest. Winter brings fewer crowds and lower prices, except during Chinese New Year. We operate year-round.

Question 5

What should elderly travelers know before visiting China?

Accepted Answer

Plan ahead with your passport (valid for at least 6 months beyond your stay) and visa — we provide the invitation documents for your application. Bring enough medication for the whole trip plus a copy of your prescriptions, and choose travel insurance that covers medical care in China. Tell us about any mobility or dietary needs, and we will set a relaxed pace, book hotels with elevators and arrange accessible visits to the major sights. Spring (April to May) and autumn (September to October) are the most comfortable seasons for senior travelers.
