Itinerary
Beijing Shanghai
Depart London
Arrive Beijing
Catch your free airport transfer to the hotel in the centre of Beijing. There will be a welcome briefing in the evening, in which we meet our leader and the rest of the group. For dinner, we can get our first taste of authentic Chinese cuisine – ask your leader for their top tips on where to go.
Accommodation: Dong Fang Hotel (or similar)
Sightseeing in Beijing
The exploration of Beijing today will include the Forbidden City, with its innumerable courtyards and temples, as well as Tiananmen Square, the largest square in the world and able to hold more than 1m people. We take a walking tour of the hutongs (narrow alleys) to see what is left of old Beijing and its traditions. This afternoon is free to explore.
Accommodation: Dong Fang Hotel (or similar)
Visit the Great Wall
We leave the capital and head into the countryside to the Great Wall, around a two-hour journey to the north of the city. We go to one of the best-preserved parts: Mutianyu, an impressive sight as it snakes into the distance across mountains and valleys.
The wall here is up to 28ft (8.5m) high and 16ft (5m) wide, and has 22 watchtowers on its 7,380ft (2,250m) long stretch. We spend a few hours exploring – please note, there are steep steps; clients who suffer from vertigo may find it difficult (there is an optional cable car).
Lunch is at a local restaurant on the return to Beijing; expect traditional northern Chinese cuisine with vegetables (aubergine/eggplant, lotus roots, mushrooms etc), tofu, chicken, pork and much more.
There is the option of seeing an acrobatic, kung fu or opera show this evening in Beijing.
Accommodation: Dong Fang Hotel (or similar)
Beijing; overnight train to Xi'an
This morning, we visit the Temple of Heaven, followed by the Summer Palace where you can witness how vast the exclusive playground of China’s emperors and their concubines once was.
In the evening, we board an overnight train (approximately 12 hours) to the ancient city of Xi’an. We recommend purchasing food before the train as there is a limited selection on board. The train itself is of a good standard, although facilities, such as washrooms and toilets, are shared with other passengers and the cleanliness can never be guaranteed. Sleepers are four-berth bunks and bedding is provided.
Accommodation: Overnight train
Morning walking tour of the Muslim quarter and mosque; free afternoon or optional cycle ride
Xi’an is a former capital and one of the few cities in China to have retained its city walls, probably because they are so massive that no revolutionary was willing to tackle the huge task of removing them.
Today, after a Chinese breakfast, we embark on a walking tour, passing the Bell and Drum Plaza to the Muslim quarter, where we visit the Great Mosque. The Muslim quarter is a fascinating place to visit, especially in the evening when it comes alive with bustling bazaars and food stalls. This afternoon is free. To appreciate the sheer scale of the city walls, hire a bike and cycle along them.
Accommodation: Skytel Hotel/Bell Tower Hotel Xi’an (or similar)
Day trip to the Terracotta Warriors
Today we visit the Terracotta Warriors of Emperor Qin. Originally four life-size and life-like armies were planned, marking each point of the compass. Three have been found and it is assumed the emperor’s successors decided enough was enough before the fourth was begun. The first pit excavated had an estimated 6,000 figures in its one army. The third pit has been opened to the public, which contains the ‘command post’ for the entire operation. This is one of the great tourist attractions, and some may find the number of visitors overwhelming. After our visit, we lunch at a nearby farmer’s restaurant with the opportunity to taste fresh seasonal produce, home-made noodles and bread.
The evening is free for further exploration in Xi’an. Perhaps your leader will take you to the Giant Wild Goose Pagoda Square to witness a (free) water and light show.
Accommodation: Skytel Hotel/Bell Tower Hotel Xi’an (or similar)
Bullet train to Chengdu; afternoon sightseeing tour
We transfer to the train station and catch a morning bullet train (approximately 4hr 15 min) to Chengdu, the capital of Sichuan province, arriving around lunch/early afternoon. This area is recognised throughout China as being the spicy province, and it certainly lives up to its name. Major flavour combinations include garlic, star anise, chillies, and the ever-present Sichuanese peppercorn (hua jiao) which is used in many recipes. In the afternoon, your leader will take you on a walking tour (which also includes using public buses) through the lively parks and city centre square for a taste of local life.
Accommodation: Garden City Hotel (or similar)
Sightseeing trip to Leshan Giant Buddha; return to Chengdu
Today, we visit a Unesco World Heritage site near Chengdu – the Leshan Giant Buddha. About two to three hours’ drive from Chengdu, this 233ft (71m) tall Buddha carved into the cliff face is the biggest sitting Buddha in the world and took almost 100 years to complete. Either see it by river boat or by walking around it in the mountain (be prepared for crowds and long queues if you walk). Your leader can advise you on the best way to visit depending on the season. We return to Chengdu in the late afternoon.
In the evening, we can taste Sichuanese cuisine at a Chengdu hotpot dinner. The typical flavours of this much-loved dish are created with Sichuan pepper and involve a certain amount of interaction as the food is cooked in a large hotpot by the diners themselves. Those not a fan of spice can omit the peppers from the hot broth in which the food is cooked.
Accommodation: Garden City Hotel (or similar)
Visit the Giant Panda Breeding Research Base; to Chongqing, board cruise boat
With an early start, we visit the Giant Panda Breeding Research Base. Hopefully, these intriguing and rare animals will be feeding, as this is when they’re most active; otherwise, we can watch them indulge in their most common form of entertainment: sleeping!
We then travel by train to Chongqing city (approximately three hours), the embarkation point for our Yangtze river cruise (after a 30-minute transfer to the dock). On arrival, we board our four-star cruise boat and settle into our cabins. We stay in air-conditioned twin-berth cabins with en suite bathrooms.
Accommodation: Cruise boat (four-star international rating/five-star local rating)
Two full days cruising the Yangtze River, including the Three Gorges and dam
We spend two days cruising one of the great rivers, as we head down the Yangtze, passing towering cliffs and gorges. To limit the impact of flooding, the Chinese government built a massive dam. This flooded the Three Gorges of Qutang, Wu and Xiling and a journey among these wonders is a must for any visitor to China. Nights are spent on the boat. There is also time for shore excursions, as the boat docks at smaller towns and villages, and to explore the lesser gorges on smaller boats, depending upon water levels.
The day-to-day schedule for the cruise can change with weather and river conditions, and the permissions of navigation authorities. Activity details will be explained in the briefing and the river guide can give you more information after boarding. The cruise will cover what is commonly considered as the essence of the Three Gorges, but some parts will be passed during the night. If water levels are okay, we cruise through a series of locks in the dam itself, but this cannot be guaranteed as it depends on the weather and river traffic.
Accommodation: Cruise boat (four-star international rating/five-star local rating)
Disembark cruise; overnight sleeper train to Liuzhou
We complete our cruise this morning and disembark, taking a look at the dam and learning about the massive engineering project that took place. We then drive to Yichang, where we catch the afternoon train to Liuzhou (approximately 16 hours).
Accommodation: Overnight train
Arrive Liuzhou; transfer to Yangshuo; afternoon cookery class
We arrive in Liuzhou early this morning (4.30am/5am) and then transfer by road for 3hr 30min through towering limestone scenery to Yangshuo. The surrounding region is famous for the steep-sided karst mountains that pierce the otherwise flat landscape of paddy fields. Despite its small size, Yangshuo has quite a good tourist infrastructure due to its large transient population of backpackers and domestic tourists. In the afternoon, we have a cookery class, led by a local host, learning how to make some of China’s most iconic dishes, before enjoying our culinary creations for lunch.
Accommodation: New West Street Hotel (or similar)
Explore the countryside by bike; meal with a local family
This morning gives us the opportunity to appreciate the spectacular landscape on two wheels, as we take a bike and ride towards Moon Hill. We enjoy a leisurely pace, and there are plenty of stops to hydrate and appreciate the glorious scenery.
Lunch is spent with a local family, giving us the opportunity to sample new foods and create friendships over a meal. Expect delicious dishes such as clay-pot taro, stir-fried chicken and veggies, and traditional fried eggs. Please note, your leader can arrange a taxi or minivan to take you on a scenic drive through the countryside to meet the group at the lunch stop (at your own expense) if you do not wish to cycle. The afternoon is free to relax or enjoy one of the many optional activities Yangshuo offers.
Accommodation: New West Street Hotel (or similar)
Free day in Yangshuo, surrounded by towering limestone scenery
Today is free to relax and enjoy the scenery and laid-back atmosphere of Yangshuo. There are many optional activities available: cruise on the Li River, visit the Black Buddha caves, enjoy a Chinese massage or kung fu class, or watch the Liu Sanjie Show, an outdoor performance on a natural stage formed by the Li River and 12 peaks. Even if you choose to relax, this is an ideal place: you can take a stroll around the market and examine the local produce or rest in one of the cafes and watch the world pass.
Accommodation: New West Street Hotel (or similar)
To Guilin for flight to Shanghai; evening tour along the Bund
In the morning, we transfer to the airport at Guilin to fly to Shanghai, a city with an international feel. In the evening, we take a walking tour of the Bund area, to see the illuminated buildings along the riverside. We can visit the Jin Mao Tower (optional), one of the tallest buildings in the world, which has a spectacular view of Shanghai from the observation deck.
Accommodation: Greenland Jiulong Hotel (or similar)
Visit Xitang water town
We have an early start (around 7am) to avoid the crowds at the ancient water town of Xitang; famous for its cobbled streets and bridges arching over the many canals. There are several well-preserved buildings from the Ming (1368-1644) and Qing (1644-1911) dynasties, and the town is a delightful place to explore on foot. We lunch here before returning to Shanghai (around two hours) where the evening will be free.
Accommodation: Greenland Jiulong Hotel (or similar)
Full day in Shanghai
We visit the Shanghai Museum this morning, followed by the Yu Yuan garden; the rest of the day is free to explore. Though it no longer warrants the title Paris of the East, many of the vestiges of its colonial past are still apparent. It is worth strolling along Nanjing Road (the main shopping street in Shanghai) or visiting Shanghai Tower (the tallest building in China at 2,073ft/632m high) or the smaller Oriental Pearl Tower to admire its Space Age design.
Optional activities this evening include the much-loved Shanghai Acrobatic show.
Accommodation: Greenland Jiulong Hotel (or similar)
End Shanghai
The tour comes to an end after breakfast. You may want to begin your return journey home, but if you’d like to continue the adventure, speak to your sales representative about extending your stay.
Fly to London
For those on the group flight to London the flight is in the morning, with a same-day arrival into London, UK, in the evening.

Hotels, Boat and Train
On this trip, you will spend 13 nights in comfortable hotels, three nights on a four-star cruise boat with two-berth air-conditioned cabins, all en suite, and two nights on a first-class sleeper train.
Nearly all the hotels are locally rated as at least three-star and, wherever possible, located as near to local attractions as possible. The overnight train is in ‘soft sleeper’ cabins, which are four-berth (bunk beds) private cabins. The train itself is of a good standard, although facilities such as washrooms and toilets are shared with other passengers and the cleanliness can never be guaranteed – there is one Western-style toilet and one Asian-style squat toilet per carriage, plus a washroom for brushing your teeth, and a water heater for making tea/coffee or instant noodles. Bedding is provided but we recommend you consider taking a thin sleep sheet. While we make every attempt to place passengers together in cabins, sometimes this is impossible; however, we will never place a solo traveller in a cabin by themselves (they will always be either with another passenger on the trip or with the leader). If you are travelling in a pair, it may be possible to upgrade to ‘deluxe soft sleeper’ two-berth private cabins on the overnight train, please request this with your sales representative in advance. This is subject to availability and only possible for clients travelling in pairs due to new regulations.
For the Yangtze River cruise, we work with a couple of different cruise boats, each offering comfortable four-star (five-star local rating) accommodation and service and following the same programme. The well-appointed rooms are equipped with air conditioning and all have en suite bathrooms. There is ample deck space to watch the magnificent scenery drift by, plus a fitness centre, spa, bar, lounge and restaurant. The ships carry between 200 and 400 passengers.
If you prefer to have your own room, it is possible to book a single supplement subject to availability – please request this at the time of booking. The single supplement does not apply to the overnight trains.

Most Inspirational Moment
Seeing the Terracotta army in all its glory was a lifelong ambition and didn’t disappoint
Thoughts on Group Leader
From the first minute to the last, Avan was a perfect ambassador for his wonderful Country - full of knowledge, always resourceful and flexible to our needs as well as having a great sense of humour which made the trip swing along - we had lots of fun along the way.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Whilst the advice was to prepare for steps and long platforms, in reality wheeled suitcases were absolutely fine and negotiating the train stations was easy even in the busy summer holiday period.
Suggestions
The trip is quite demanding with the heat in the summer and large crowds, but the variety of options are huge and the sights keep rolling along for the whole trip - a total immersion in China which was unforgettable!
Captivating China
Superb trip with plenty to see and do. The Great Wall is amazing, the Terracotta Warriors fascinating as was the Han Yangling Mausoleum. The Shanghai Museum should really be included and not optional. The visit to the Giant Panda breeding research base was great. Plenty of exercise to work off the effects of the delicious food with walking the Wall, dancing in the park, cycling the walls at Xi’an and cycling through the stunning scenery of Yangshuo.

Peter was very knowledgable and organised. He always had a smile on his face. He organised a cake and celebrations for my husband’s birthday. Alan still talks about the longevity noodles. Thanks Peter.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Well worth the effort and hassle of getting a visa.
Suggestions
Probably the most disappointing part of the trip was the visit to the Three Gorges Dam. Leave it out and add in the Shanghai Museum.
imperial china and yangsie river cruise
Peter Wong was a very good guide. He explained in detail the history of China from the early ages until the present day. I found the trip very educational. The fastness of landscapes, with high rise flats, went on forever. The train stations were enormous and larger than most airports. The motorways didn’t seem to have any traffic jams because they were gigantic, and they were numerous in number. The culture was interesting, and I enjoyed the operas and dance, and there belief in Buddha. The great wall was very impressive, and I really enjoyed walking it, for me it was the highlight of the trip. The terracotta worriers were amazing, and I also was captivated by the Pandas. The overall experience was mind blowing, but I would not like to live there. I would like to mention the cooking class. Would this class be better held later in the day, as most of us were very full up so soon after breakfast. I would like to thank all of those involved with the planning and organisation of this trip.

very informative, he certainly knows his history.
Advice for Potential Travellers
to have the cooking class later than so soon after breakfast.
Suggestions
As I have already explained in the first section of the questionnaire. The group as a whole got along well, any problems that we encountered were soon solved by Peter.
A great trip, who have interest and energy
Kris was an excellent guide with detailed knowledge on the Nation and people of China. Answered questions with a easily to understand words. There is little rest save for travelling, trains, river cruise and Flight all went well. The trip notes mentioned long Station Platforms, this was true however due to Station location a walk of 700 to 900 meters was often required, many with large bags required help.
The use of ATMs to obtain cash in Cities is available, however not in rural areas as much. Very few Business take European Cards, as cash is widely used.
Most Inspirational Moment
A number, the River Cruise, cycling in villages, seeing the old part which will soon be gone, with an excellent guide in all ways.
Thoughts on Group Leader
An excellent guide in all ways.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Travel light, you may have to carry you bag up 2 flights of stairs and walk 900 meters to the Bus. Draw out cash in large centres. Listen to you guide and perhaps take notes. My bag was 14 kg, so not difficult, able to help others.
Suggestions
If you want to see some of old China go soon.
So much included
This was my first trip outside of Europe, and I recommend it to anyone who wants to step outside their travel comfort-zone and immerse themselves in a completely different culture. This particular itinerary is excellent, as you visit a wide array of landscapes and landmarks. An important consideration is that China is changing so fast. If you go now you can still see both the old and the new side-by-side, which is really interesting. It is also the sort of place where for all but the most intrepid I think it’s necessary to go on an organised tour with a guide to translate/explain/direct everything and drivers to navigate the road system.
Most Inspirational Moment
It's so hard to choose. I think it would have to be visiting the Forbidden City in Beijing. This was the very heart of a civilization, and I was amazed by the size of the complex and the richness of meaning behind all of its structures and components.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Leon was incredible. He was exceptionally well organised and knowledgeable. He never seemed to tire and always had the energy to answer extra questions and arrange extra trips out. He made each person in the group feel valued as an individual, and always acted in a calm and professional manner.
Advice for Potential Travellers
1. In the words of a local guide, China is having a 'toilet revolution'! There are a surprisingly large number of public toilets available at frequent intervals, though bring your own loo roll and hand sanitiser. 2. Don't underestimate the VISA process. It is far more involved than for most countries, and UK travellers will have to visit a national centre to get their fingerprints taken. (From word of mouth in our group, the Edinburgh and Manchester centres were easier to deal with than the London centre, which is busier. I'm not sure about the Belfast centre). 3. Pack a range of clothing (in layers). As the distances travelled are huge, the climate will change a lot through the trip. 4. All the hotels we stayed in had both American-style and Australian-style plug sockets in the rooms, so either of those travel adaptors would be fine. 5. ATMs are available at frequent intervals throughout the trip, so although you will be expected to pay for most things in cash, you don't need to bring all of it in advance.
Hints and tips
This is not a restful trip. It is full on from the start but it gave us everything we wanted to see in China and our guide Kris made it very easy for us. She had a good sense of humour and warned us if there was anything she thought might be difficult for us. Be prepared for crowds. Most of the tourist sights are busy with Chinese tourists, especially the Terracotta Warriors and the Pandas at Chengdu.
Most Inspirational Moment
It was a great holiday. The Wall, the Terracotta Warriors, the pandas, the Three Gorges, Jangshuo and the Three Kingdoms show. Couldn’t pick one out. A possible improvement might be to take another overnight train rather than have the overnight stop in Wuhan. After visiting the dam we travelled for one and a half days on a series of trains and coaches whereas getting an overnight train would have been more restful.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Kris was a great group leader - funny, patient, informative and took care of everybody. She is one of the best guides we have had and we have done quite a few Exodus holidays.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Travel light. I would suggest not more than 15KG and wheeled luggage. You will be moving around a lot. Take toilet roll and hand gel with you when outside the hotel. Pack a mug, spoon , tea bags and coffee as hot water is available on trains and at airports. Don't expect cold milk though, take powdered if you like your tea white - it wasn't always available except in better hotels. Laundry is cheap to do in Jangshuo. The Three Kingdoms show was fantastic. Can't comment on the others but the rest of the group thought all shows were good, especially the acrobatic show in Shanghai. Carry money and passport at all times. Take cash as credit cards can't be used when the group leader is organising meals etc. The trip notes were about right in terms of what you need for money. China is not as cheap as you might think. Shanghai was the only place we used credit cards and even then not everywhere. Luggage is X- rayed before you get on trains and flammables and sharp objects ( even scissors) may be confiscated. We got away with a penknife but one of our group had their aerosol deodorant confiscated. Keep power packs and camera batteries in hand luggage, even leaving Shanghai. They will get you to open your luggage even after you have handed it over at check in. You will need sunscreen and insect repellent. Trainers were fine, walking boots not needed, but you will be walking quite a lot. If you upgrade to first on the overnight train you will get your own loo and 2 in a cabin (£70 each). Some of the group thought this was definitely a plus. Accommodation on the boat was better than I expected ( not necessary to upgrade) but it is worth upgrading for the food as it means you will eating with a group of 30-40, rather than 300.
A great way to see all the great things in China
Have low expectations and be positive was the motto of our guide. My own expectations were exceeded! We got to see so many great things
Most Inspirational Moment
Pandas! I booked this trip over any other because we go to visit the panda breeding centre. They are the most cuddliest and most adorable creatures. Whilst we were there we watched one get a bucket stuck on its head to one falling out of a tree. Yangshou with its Karst mountains! I love the countryside and this place was just stunning. We had rain most days we were there but the mist rolling across the mountains is just beautiful. A nice break from the busy crowds of the city too. The great Wall - Just wow! Even more breath taking in real life.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Dragon was very efficient and organised. He told us what we needed to know and what was happening a few days before it happened. He made us aware of optional extras that we could partake it. The motto of the trip was to have low expectations and to be positive. Dragon would often give us the worst case scenario and prepare us for the worst which meant we were never disappointed or surprised. And most things actually proved to be okay or to exceed our new expectations. Dragon was very helpful and supportive. My luggage got misplaced on a different coach and after a few phone calls managed to get it back quickly and without fuss. There was also a problem with my passport number. The office had pre booked my train tickets with my old passport number and so wouldn't pass the security check but after the first incident, Dragon managed to sort extra tickets so this wasn't a problem further along the road. Although not forth coming with information, Dragon knew alot and would give you all the information that he could give. No problems with translation.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Don't drink the water. You don't need to cover your legs for temples and things. We were supplied with bike helmets for our bike ride and had the option to hire some at other places. So no need to take your own. Don't flush the loo roll. Walk the steps up to the great wall. It's tough but if only a few of you do it you get that section of the wall to yourself for a good hour before you see everyone else that comes via the cable cars. Great opportunity for solo photos too. Practise with chopsticks before you come - its great fun to learn before you come and sometimes forks can be hard to find. Good trainers will get you through this trip! Lots of walking. Don't upgrade on the boat. We saved £50 and got to eat with the locals. We couldn't speak to them directly but I enjoyed watching how they used their chopsticks. If you only pay for one extra activity, do the night show at the Li River, Worlds largest natural theatre. Breathtakingly beautiful! Make sure exodus send you the exodus luggage tags - helps porters know that your luggage is all the same. Take an extra SD card, your going to need it!! One your packed, take half the clothes and double your spending money!
Suggestions
If you want to go to China just once and see as much as possible, this is the trip to do it. If your a solo person this is the trip for you. A large group of 16 means you never feel lonely but you can still do things on your own if you want too.
CHINA ADVENTURE
We enjoyed our experience in China and came home with a better understanding of the Chinese people and culture. Unfortunately, when we continued our trip to Hong Kong we discovered that someone had taken most of our Hong Kong money (equivalent to $500 Canadian). We keep these funds locked in safe deposit boxes, so not sure how this could have happened. We would like others who go on this trip to keep any cash with them at all times.
Most Inspirational Moment
Biking in the countryside.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Very organized and factual.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Keep your valuables with you. Do not trust the safe deposit boxes.
Imperial China and Yangtze River Cruise
We have just returned from this busy and full on trip. As other reviews have said ‘China is big!’ We saw and experienced so much – from the different styles of food, transport and sites. Our guide was informative and shared lots of information regarding Chinese culture and history as well as the amazing development that has occurred during the last 20 years.
Most Inspirational Moment
Realising just how far China has come and how far it plans to go. This is awe inspiring rather than inspirational. The infrastructure projects, buildings, size of cities, numbers of travellers/ tourists/people. Reading about it can't really prepare you for the reality.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Dragon was extremely good at managing expectations and ensuring the whole group navigated the busy schedule. He was professional, funnyGo patient and very good at helping us make the most of the opportunities available. This included where to stand on the boat to get the best view, upgrading our dining option on the Yangtze cruise to avoid the scrum in the dining room. We enjoyed hearing his anecdotes of growing up and life in China.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Be prepared for the crowds but don't let them put you off as the Chinese were always friendly, helpful and good natured. Take mosquito repellent and wear comfortable shoes as there is a lot of walking but it is all manageable. Use the 'farmers' to carry your bag on to the cruise boat there are a lot of steep steps down to the river. Have an open mind and be willing to go with the flow. Foot massages were great (especially the ones on the cruise). Enjoy!
Suggestions
We met lots of interesting travlleling companions and the group size of 16 worked well with a mix of couples and singles, so there were always people to hang out with if you wanted to. Go for it - you won't be disappointed
