Why This Trip Was Ideal


This route worked brilliantly for me as a first time visitor to China. It ticked off the country’s greatest hits from the Great Wall and Terracotta Army to Shanghai’s skyline and kept the pace exciting but manageable. I stayed in comfortable four star hotels throughout, with transfers included, and joined small guided tours for most of the key attractions. Everything was incredibly well organised and ran like clockwork.

Getting a visa before travel was simple, and although I was slightly nervous about the language barrier, it really wasn’t a problem. Local guides and drivers were always on hand to help, which made everything from check-ins to day tours smooth and stress free. The only place I found slightly trickier was Beijing when eating out at more local spots, but even then it became part of the adventure — a few attempts at Mandarin and a lot of pointing made for some fun dinner experiences.

All in all, it was a fantastic trip that I’d absolutely recommend. China completely exceeded my expectations and I can’t wait to go back and explore more of this incredible country.
