Visit the impressive Great Wall at Mutianyu and escape the hustle and bustle. You will stay overnight right near the Wall, allowing you to enjoy a wonderfully peaceful evening in a unique setting. Round off the experience with a fun, authentic halal dumpling-making workshop with locals.
Start your morning at a leisurely pace with an optional Tai Chi session. Next, travel by state-of-the-art high-speed train (second class) from Beijing West to historic Xi'an. You will round off the day in style with an authentic Hui-style welcome dinner, offering an immediate taste of the rich local culture.
Let yourself be swept away by the stories of imperial Xi'an, the influential Tang culture, and the legendary Silk Road that come to life here.
Come face-to-face with the world-famous Terracotta Army. Next, explore the impressive, historic City Wall on foot or by bike, before enjoying a leisurely stroll through the atmospheric, traditional streets of Xi'an.
Discover the unique atmosphere of the Great Mosque and the lively Muslim Quarter. Jumu'ah prayers also take place at the Great Mosque. After this cultural experience, you will travel by high-speed train to the futuristic metropolis of Chongqing.
Discover modern Chongqing with a visit to the Three Gorges Museum, the impressive exterior of the People's Great Hall, and the iconic Liziba monorail that runs right through an apartment building. Afterwards, enjoy an authentic halal hotpot.
Discover multi-layered Chongqing through an interactive city quest that takes you through hidden passages and past Jiefangbei and Kuixing Tower. Visit the serene Luohan Temple, enjoy a traditional fire show, and admire the illuminated Hongyadong.
Travel comfortably by train to Zhangjiajie and sit down straight away for a delicious halal dinner in the city. Still have some energy left? Then take an optional evening stroll through the lively streets and admire the spectacularly illuminated Seventy-Two Wonders Tower.
Conquer the spectacular Tianmen Mountain and enjoy breathtaking views. Walk along the glass skywalk and travel in comfort—using the included cable car and escalator—to the iconic, towering Tianmen Cave (Heaven's Gate).
Come face-to-face with the otherworldly Avatar peaks in Yuanjiajie. Soar rapidly upwards in the impressive Bailong Elevator, the world’s tallest outdoor lift. Hike across the mystical Tianzi Mountain and enjoy a panoramic descent by cable car.
Wandel langs de idyllische Golden Whip Stream en laat je omringen door weelderige bossen en kletterende beken. Volg de ontspannen wandelpaden waar je met een beetje geluk wilde makaken tussen de bomen spot.
After checking out of the hotel, you will be taken to Zhangjiajie Airport for your return journey. You are guaranteed to head home with a suitcase full of unique memories of imperial and modern China!
