Tour Features
The itinerary starts from developed South East China to the Tibet Plateau, the sharp contrast and the visual impact between the cultures, climate, custom and religion will be quite an experience! Xian, as an exceptional capital for 12 dynasties in history has left the city a lot to see and to feel; Beijing, as the present capital and the capital of Ming & Qing Dynasties in China, which has also endured humiliations during late Qing Dynasty. The old city and its people take the history as to be used for reference.

In Hong Kong we only book the comfortable hotel for you. Our listed itinerary is just for your reference, which is not included in our package tour price. Hong Kong is an international metropolis with modern transportations to be easily accessed, and also English is widely used, so it is quite convenient to find the way to your destinations, there's no need to have a guide and private car according to our experiences. Thus, to save the cost for you, we, TravelChinaGuide, would like to leave this part on your own. Particularly, we have made a sketch map for Hong Kong transportations and offered you some useful information on how to get to your hotel from the airport. Hope it helps.

Alternatively, if you want to avoid being a little bit adventurous and enjoy your stay in Shanghai or Hong Kong in a sit-back manner, we are also glad to make arrangements for you. Your tour specialists will quote you the price for this part upon your requirements.

Differences can be only made by comparison. Our Making a Difference page for all private tours will let you know extra benefits we offer over and above those on tours available from other operators.
