Beijing
Enjoy a Romantic Sunset at the Great Wall
Duration: 5 hours
- Avoid the crowds and enjoy breathtaking sunset views.
- Have a romantic picnic at one of the wonders of the ancient world.
- Every corner is like Instagram gold.
Sit on the ancient steps of the Great Wall without crowds around you, enjoy the changing sunset view, and drink a toast to this lovely experience on this wonder of the ancient world. This is a once-in-a-lifetime experience for couples.
Your guide will prepare a picnic at the special place and help you to capture the romantic moment by taking photos. There will be one more wonderful photo added to your family photos frames or will be shared to your friends on instagram.
Fine Rice Wine Tasting in a Hidden Hutong
Duration: 1 hour
- An authentic and pleasant tasting experience.
- Discover the secrets of Chinese rice wine.
- Relax and have fun, this is like seasoning for your trip.
With a much softer and sweeter flavor than Chinese Baijiu, rice wine is widely appreciated by Chinese people. In just the same way that wine tasting is a must when visiting Bordeaux, trying rice wine when visiting China is a great way to relax and experience a beloved local drink.
Located in a hidden hutong, which is a traditional Chinese alleyway, Nuoyan Rice Wine House offers a pleasant atmosphere where travelers can taste traditional rice wine.
Nuoyan in Chinese means 'promise' and the wine house got its name because of a promise made by the brewer to his girlfriend. You will be served five to six different flavors of rice wine. This experience is perfect for couples who can sip wine together while listening to the brewer's love story. By the end of this experience, you may have forgotten that you are a tourist in this city.
Shanghai
One Hour Spa Session at the 5-Star Sunrise On the Bund Hotel
Duration: 1 hour
- A head-to-toe treatment revitalizes your muscles.
- An excellent spa service with a reasonable price.
- Relax and reward yourself.
Located in the heart of the North Bund, the 5-star Sunrise On the Bund hotel has both an old Shanghai and European style. Its spa service is one of the best in Shanghai and it is good value for money.
Usually, Shanghai is the last leg of your China tour so put down your backpack, relax, and enjoy some leisure time at the L Spa in the hotel. A 1 hour Imperial Signature Massage revitalizes your muscles while the unique Energy Crystal Steam Room and Japanese-style sauna make you feel refreshed and full of energy.
It is a pleasant reward for yourself after about 10 days of touring in China. Based on our good business relationship, China Highlights gets a good price for the spa.
Enjoy Your Favorite Movie in a Private Movie Theater
Duration: 2 hours
- Appreciate private, quality time with your partner.
- Enjoy a movie that holds sweet memories for you.
- Discover this trendy form of entertainment in China.
Is there a movie that holds sweet memories for you? Have you experienced watching a movie while traveling abroad? There is an opportunity for you to discover a fashionable trend in Shanghai: enjoy a movie in a private movie theater with your partner or family.
With a comfortable sofa, the private movie theater offers private rooms for 2–8 people. You can order your favorite movie from the theater's list, no matter whether it's one of the newest movies or a classic one. Make sure you select the English version. Coffee, desserts, and some light food are available there.
Relax and enjoy some intimate, quality time with your partner or family. This will give you a special and unforgettable memory of your time in China.
Guilin
A Scenic Riverside Candlelit Dinner
Duration: 1 hour
- Unique scenery and a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
- Only the flowing river will witness your whispers.
- Western or Chinese food - it's your choice.
When's the last time you had a candlelit dinner with your loved one? If your answer is "it's been a while" then it's time for something extravagant!
Slow your pace as you walk amid Yangshuo's unique landscape and have a riverside candlelit dinner in a mountain retreat garden. The owners of the retreat are a couple from America. They love the scenery and built the affordable luxury hotel from scratch.
You can order Western or local Chinese food. Their menu is filled with wonderful local specialties, and Yangshuo's distinct cuisine and flavors make it a culinary delight for all lovers of Chinese country cooking. With fresh ingredients, you can enjoy your farm-to-table meal.
Xi'an
Han Chinese Clothing and Customs Experience for Couples
Duration: 1 hour
- Dress like an ancient Chinese person.
- Practice some ceremonies that feature in a Chinese wedding.
- Print your name using traditional movable type printing.
The costume of a nationality is, of course, part of its culture. Han Chinese clothing refers to China's traditional national costume. It has a long history and its style varied in different periods and dynasties.
It is a unique experience for couples to try on traditional Chinese outfits and practice some ceremonies that feature in a Chinese wedding in an ancient Xi'an academy.

Beautiful Beijing with Ethan & Mr. Chen
Ethan, our wonderful guide, whose praises we can not sing loudly enough, was compassionate, caring, and overall endearing!

The Highlights and High Life of Beijing with Ethan & Mr. Chen
Ethan, our wonderful tour guide, made our entire trip an absolute joy for us as he was extraordinarily caring, considerate, and generous. Having had the pleasure of taking in the sights of Beijing previously with another lovely guide, Angela, it was spectacular not only to show the family how fantastic the city is but also how high the quality of services provided by China Highlights are. Each day unveiled a new treasure, helpfully detailed by Ethan, and punctuated by delicious and varied local food. Our driver, Mr. Chen, was also a delight, and was equally as key to the overall experience as he was both attentive and almost mystically punctual! more

3rd time the charm, is being charmed for the 3rd time.
This is my 3rd tour of Beijing in the last 18 months and I think that speaks a little to the quality of service you get with China Highlights. Each time the sites are the same but each tour guide managed to present them in new and wonderful ways. Also some attractions that were undergoing renovations have been completed, so there were new things to see as well.A big thanks to Mr. Michael, our tour this time around. He was very gregarious and knowledgeable about all the sites. more

3rd time the charm, is charmed for the 3rd time
The sites stay the same but each time we have done this tour, the tour guides manage to make it feel like it is the first time you are experiencing it. And, with the constant renovations, this time we were able to see previous areas that were unavailable the last time we came. more

Bucket List Trip to China
My first stop in China was Beijing. Ethan was my guide there. Daily, they would pick me up and take me to the spots on the itinerary. He helped me plan outside activities like a Chinese acrobat show. He even walked me to my seat in my theater so I could easily find my correct chair. What was most helpful was Ethan waiting with me at the train station and even helping me on to my seat and giving the train attendant my meal order. Very little English was spoken by the train attendant. more
