USD 699 per person, 5 star hotels every night, flying Philippine Airlines direct both ways. This is the most comfortable of our China packages at this price and it covers ground most tours do not.
Wangxian Valley in Jiangxi is the one people book it for. Guesthouses built into a cliff face, lit up after dark so the whole rock wall glows. Before that you get Shenxianju and the Ruyi Bridge, a curved walkway suspended in a gorge, with aerial photography included. Hengdian is China’s film and television base, where the Qin Palace set comes with a 5D stunt car ride.
It finishes in the classic Jiangnan places. West Lake at Hangzhou with a boat on the water and Leifeng Pagoda across it, then Shanghai for Nanjing Road and the Bund.

Not compulsory in the way our cheaper China tours are, but there are three stops that function as shopping halts: the Meijiawu Tea Garden, a health and wellness centre, and the Shanghai Intangible Cultural Heritage Centre, which is a jade showroom. You are free to buy nothing. We list them so you know where Days 5 and 6 go.
Yes. Round trip Manila to Shanghai Pudong direct with Philippine Airlines, which means no connection and no change of terminal in either direction.
A scenic area in Jiangxi where guesthouses are built into a cliff face. After dark the whole rock wall is lit and it is the image most people have seen of this tour. You see it on the evening of Day 3.
Yes, a China group visa at USD 40 per person, collected with your tour fee. The whole group travels on one visa, so you cannot arrive early or stay on afterwards.
This package is priced by age band rather than adult and child. Ages 1 to 18 are quoted at USD 729 per person, which is higher than the USD 699 for adults 19 and over. That is what the supplier quotes and we are confirming it, so ask us before you book for a family.
A good amount. This tour covers Zhejiang and Jiangxi as well as Shanghai, and Days 2, 3 and 4 all involve long road legs between provinces. The coach is private and the hotels are 5 star at the end of each leg, but it is a moving tour rather than a base and day trip one.
The rate is per person on twin sharing. A room to yourself carries a single supplement of USD 200.
