China Highlights and Helen helped us truly enjoy Beijing!
In Beijing, our guide was Helen and she was fantastic! (She is in several of our pics). She knowledgeable, patient and flexible with our requests for “extras”. And she was so thoughtful that seeing that my birthday would be while we’re in Beijing, arranged to celebrate it atop the Mutianyu section of the Great Wall! She had a mini cake, a candle, a lighter (!) refreshments for us, a mini table set up and everything (yes, she did just that!) My birthday was wonderful! more

FAQs on China Tour Planning
Here are some expert planning tips to help you get started:
1. What is the best way to tour China?
China is a very large country, but it has built a comprehensive transportation system of airports, trains, highways, subways, ports, and waterways that is world class in many places.
For Western travelers, we suggest traveling between destinations by air or by high-speed railway. For journeys of more than 1,200 km (720 miles), it is probably better to take a plane. For less than that, a bullet train may be a more convenient and comfortable choice.
For traveling in the remote areas of China, a private transfer is recommended if there is no flight or bullet train.
2. How many days should I spend in China?
For first-timers, we recommend at least 8 days for the classic Beijing–Xi'an–Shanghai route, but a 14-day tour would allow you to experience a cruise on the Yangtze River and see the scenery of Guilin as well.
If you are planning a return trip, we will suggest the optimum number of days according to the destinations you are interested in.
3. How much does a tour of China cost?
The cost ranges from 220 to 350 USD per person per day, based on a private China tour for two persons. This includes domestic transportation, private guides, private transfers, hotels, attraction tickets, and lunches on touring days.
