🐼 Great Tour of China & The Yangtze
13 nights | Private Journey | China
Discover the very best of China on a fascinating journey combining ancient history, giant pandas, spectacular landscapes and a three-night cruise along the mighty Yangtze River.
Begin in Beijing, exploring the imperial treasures of the capital before walking along the legendary Great Wall. Continue to Xi’an to marvel at the extraordinary Terracotta Warriors, then travel onwards to Chengdu, home of China’s beloved giant pandas.
From Chengdu, the journey takes to the water. Board the Century Paragon for a three-night Yangtze River cruise, sailing through the breathtaking Three Gorges, where dramatic cliffs, ancient temples and misty landscapes unfold along the river.
Your journey concludes in Shanghai, where historic neighbourhoods, classical gardens and modern skyscrapers showcase another side of China. There’s also time to explore the beautiful gardens and waterways of nearby Suzhou.
🐾 A different way to experience China’s wildlife
For wildlife lovers, the visit to Chengdu provides the opportunity to discover the world’s most famous Chinese animal — the giant panda — while the wider itinerary adds an impressive mix of landscapes, culture and history.
Unlike the dedicated panda journeys, this is a private touring experience, making it an appealing choice for couples, families or friends who want their own journey through China rather than travelling as part of a larger group. Fred. Holidays states that the tour is available year-round and requires a minimum of two guests travelling together.
