14-Day Grand China Journey

Beijing · Xi’an · Chengdu · Zhangjiajie · Shanghai

A JOURNEY TO MAKE YOUR OWN

A route built around your interests

Go beyond the classic cities with time for Sichuan’s food culture and Hunan’s sculpted mountains.

This 14-day China tour itinerary is an editorial example, not a scheduled group departure. Stops, hotel standards, transportation, meals, and guided experiences can all be adjusted around the travelers and the season.

Why this route works

Allocate at least two full sightseeing days to Zhangjiajie and avoid scheduling its major parks together.

Make the itinerary yours

Choose more leisurely mornings, additional cultural time, an active day outdoors, or another overnight stop. A well-designed route should reflect the people taking it, not force them to follow a standard checklist.

What is included?

This is a sample itinerary only; there is no published package price or guaranteed inclusion. A customized proposal should spell out hotels, guides, transportation, admissions, meals, optional activities, and payment terms before booking.
