Premium 12-Day China Odyssey with Great Wall, Five-Star Stays & Yangtze River Cruise
Unearth ancient secrets and modern marvels on a curated journey through China’s most iconic sights, before boarding the Victoria Sabrina for four nights floating down the Yangtze River. Your journey is elevated by stays at exceptional Shangri-La hotels in Beijing, Xian and Shanghai, where refined design, attentive service and world-class amenities define each moment. Along the way, witness the imposing majesty of the Great Wall at Juyong Pass and stand face to face with Xi’an’s legendary Terracotta Army, frozen in time for more than two millennia.
Experience the thrill of a high-speed bullet train between Beijing and Xi’an, while flights in and out of Shanghai make it easy to tick off the must-see megacity. While you’re there, discover the classical Chinese landscaping of Yu Garden, wander through the lively lanes of Yuyuan Bazaar and explore the historic waterfront precinct of The Bund.
Once you’ve touched down in Yichang, continue your journey down the Yangtze aboard the Victoria Sabrina, sailing through the dramatic Three Gorges where sheer cliffs and layered peaks rise straight from the water. Step ashore to marvel at the Three Gorges Dam, the world’s largest hydroelectric power plant, and drift through the narrow limestone passage of Shennong Stream, where ancient hanging coffins still cling to the cliffs above. Disembark in Chongqing for a final night at the InterContinental Chongqing Raffles City before your journey home.
With a maximum of 16 guests, expert local guides and private transfers throughout, this premium tour is your seamless gateway to the very best of China.
