A STARTING POINT, MADE YOURS

There’s a story
waiting here.

Meet China through three very different cities. Begin with imperial spaces and neighbourhood lanes, follow the story into Xi’an, and finish among Shanghai's river views and layered streets. Leave time for the meals and small discoveries between the major sights.

This could be your kind of journey.

  • First-time visitors drawn to both major landmarks and everyday life.
  • Couples, friends, and families who enjoy a variety of places and experiences.
  • Travellers curious about history, architecture, and the contrasts between cities.

A LITTLE WAY INTO THE JOURNEY

Think in chapters.

These are possibilities to explore together. The visits and arrangements come into focus when we plan your journey.

CHAPTER

Beijing

Begin with scale, then look closer.

Let a major landmark anchor an outing, then leave time for hutong streets and a neighbourhood meal. A Great Wall visit can be considered separately, with the section chosen around your group's interests and walking preferences.

ROOM TO BREATHEAllow time to settle in after arrival and spread the major sights across the time you have.

CHAPTER

Xi’an

Follow the story beyond the monument.

Use the Terracotta Warriors as one possible way into the region's history, then spend time with the city's walls, streets, and food traditions. Choose how much historical context and walking you want in each outing.

ROOM TO BREATHEBalance a focused visit with a free afternoon or a shorter neighbourhood walk.

CHAPTER

Shanghai

Finish with a city of contrasts.

Follow the river to see the historic waterfront and Pudong skyline, then turn towards smaller streets, architecture, and places to eat. Keep room for a final meal or personal time before departure.

ROOM TO BREATHEAdd time here if food, architecture, or contemporary city life is what draws you most.

THE JOURNEY FINDS YOUR RHYTHM

A little more
your kind of day.

Choose one main focus for an outing, then leave space around it. The city sequence, time in each place, and balance of guided and free time can follow your interests and travel plans.

CLEAR BEFORE YOU COMMIT

When we shape
your journey.

We’ll bring the practical details into the conversation, so your proposal reflects the way you want to travel.

YOUR PEOPLE. YOUR PACE.

yourself here?

Tell us a little about your group. We’ll start with this idea and make it yours.
