Day 1 — Arrival & First Impressions


Welcome to Shanghai — China’s dazzling metropolis where history and modernity collide. Your private driver will meet you at the airport and escort you through a skyline of soaring towers to your hotel. As evening falls, enjoy a relaxed dinner nearby and feel the pulse of the Huangpu River’s illuminated skyline — tomorrow, your story begins.

Day 2 — Skylines, Stories & River Lights


 Meet your guide for a full day of immersive city exploration:

• Oriental Pearl Tower: Ascend this iconic landmark and gaze through panoramic glass walls over the Huangpu River and the ever-expanding Pudong skyline — a testament to Shanghai’s global ambition.

• Yu Garden: Wander through elegant pavilions, carved bridges, and tranquil ponds — a masterpiece of classical Jiangnan landscaping where poetry lives in every detail.

• Old Town & City God Temple District: Cross arched bridges and winding lanes where ancient tea houses, street food stalls, and artisan shops bring the city’s past to life.

• The Bund: Stroll along Shanghai’s most famous promenade, where stately colonial facades face the futuristic skyscrapers across the river — a living dialogue between old and new.

• Huangpu River Night Cruise: As night falls, embark on a cruise to witness Shanghai at its most spectacular — both riverbanks bathed in neon light, the skyline shimmering against the dark water.

Day 3 — Alleys, Canals & Lantern Light


Spend the morning exploring Xintiandi, where Shanghai’s historic Shikumen architecture blends seamlessly with modern boutiques, cafés, and galleries. In the afternoon, transfer to Wuzhen West Scenic Area — a picture-perfect water town where white-washed walls, stone bridges, and meandering canals unfold like a traditional ink painting. By day, it’s a tranquil portrait of local life; by night, lanterns reflect in the waterways, merging rustic charm with dreamlike beauty.

Day 4 — West Lake Dreams & Tea-Scented Hills


Travel to Hangzhou, long praised as a living paradise.

• West Lake Cruise: Drift across serene waters past willow-lined causeways and legendary sights such as “Spring Dawn on the Su Causeway,” “Broken Bridge in the Snow,” and “Three Pools Mirroring the Moon.”

• Feilai Peak & Lingyin Temple: Explore sacred grottoes, centuries-old sculptures, and temple halls infused with incense — a peaceful retreat in one of China’s most revered Buddhist sanctuaries.

• Meijiawu Tea Village (Optional Tasting): Wander terraced tea fields and learn the centuries-old art of crafting Longjing tea, savoring its delicate aroma from leaf to cup.

Day 5 — Arrival in the Land of Slow Joy


Fly to Chengdu, the laid-back heart of Sichuan. After your transfer and hotel check-in, enjoy free time — perhaps with a pot of traditional tea — to ease into the city’s famously unhurried rhythm.

Day 6 — Pandas, Courtyards & Sichuan Opera Nights

• Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding: Visit during the morning’s most active feeding hours and get an up-close look at China’s beloved “pandas” in their naturalistic habitats.

• Kuanzhai Alleys: Stroll through Qing-era courtyards and narrow lanes lined with tea houses, boutiques, and local snacks — an intimate glimpse into old Chengdu’s daily life.

• Shu Feng Ya Yun: End the day with a mesmerizing Sichuan opera performance, complete with magical “face-changing,” music, and storytelling — a cultural experience that lingers long after the curtain falls.

Day 7 — Bronze Masks & Living Waters

• Sanxingdui Museum: Step back over 3,000 years into the mysterious world of the Shu Kingdom, where towering bronze masks and sacred trees reveal a civilization rich in artistry and imagination.

• Dujiangyan Irrigation System: Explore this UNESCO-listed marvel of engineering, still in use after more than two millennia. Between the Fish Mouth Weir, Flying Sand Weir, and Anlan Suspension Bridge, discover an ancient solution to flood control and irrigation that transformed Sichuan into China’s “Land of Abundance.”

Day 8 — Arrival in the Ancient Capital


Fly to Xi’an, the storied cradle of Chinese civilization. After your transfer and hotel check-in, spend the evening at leisure — tomorrow, history awaits.

Day 9 — Warriors, Pagodas & Tang Dynasty Nights

• Terracotta Army: Descend into an underground army frozen in time — thousands of life-sized soldiers standing guard over China’s first emperor, each face unique and expressive.

• Tang-Style Banquet (Optional): Dine like royalty with a grand banquet inspired by the culinary traditions of the Tang dynasty.

• Great Tang All Day Mall & Big Wild Goose Pagoda Music Fountain: Experience a vibrant celebration of Tang-era culture through live performances, illuminated parades, and dazzling fountain shows.

Enjoy a final breakfast before your private transfer to Xi’an Xianyang International Airport. As your journey ends, the story of China — its landscapes, legends, and living traditions — will continue to unfold within you.
