The Itinerary
Tokyo — 7 nights
A smooth starting point with world-class food, neighbourhood exploration, and excellent transport links. Seven nights allows time to settle in properly after the flight and experience Tokyo beyond the highlights.
Beijing — 7 nights
Our cultural anchor in China. A longer stay here creates space for major historic sights, day trips, and slower-paced evenings without turning the experience into a checklist.
Xi’an — 4 nights
A compact but high-impact stop focused on history, food, and walkable city experiences. Four nights strikes the right balance between depth and momentum.
Furong Ancient Town — 2 nights
A short, atmospheric reset. Furong is about scenery, character, and evening ambience — a deliberate contrast to the larger cities.
Zhangjiajie — 4 nights
The landscape highlight of the journey. Extra nights here allow flexibility around weather, which is essential for scenic destinations.
Shanghai — 6 nights
A modern, energetic finale. Six nights gives time to enjoy both historic neighbourhoods and contemporary Shanghai, with optional day trips if desired.
