China, the classic journey

Imperial history. Modern horizons. Your own pace.

Day 1 · Arrive in Beijing

Settle into your hotel, adjust to the journey and leave the evening unhurried. Your final plan can include an arrival transfer.

Day 2 · Palace & city heritage

Build a heritage day around your chosen palace and central-city visits, with time for meals and walking. Entry arrangements are checked for the requested date.
