Chengdu Arrivals · Foshan Departures
14 Days & 13 Nights — Private · Custom Itinerary
Moderate. The Great Wall climb is done by cable car and the descent by toboggan; the one riding day is flat, on top of a city wall. The Forbidden City and the Terracotta Warriors are long walks on flat ground, cut to one line with places to sit.
This plan runs west to south, and it holds one idea you can check for yourself: almost nothing here has been retired. The waterworks outside Chengdu still water the fields you drive past. People still ride bikes on top of the Xi'an City Wall. The teahouse chairs in People's Park are filled by neighbours, not visitors. The lion dance in Foshan is danced by people who train in that courtyard. The famous ones arrive in order along the way: pandas, the Terracotta Warriors, the Forbidden City, the Great Wall, the Bund. Somewhere around day four you'll notice you have stopped sorting this country into old and new.

A few things on this route follow the calendar, the season, or a booking system. Here they are, told straight.
Fewer than fourteen days?
The five stops come apart cleanly. Chengdu with the Dujiangyan day return stands on its own, Xi'an and Beijing are the pair most first trips keep, and the Shanghai and Guangzhou end can shorten to one city. Tell us your dates and who is coming, and we cut stops rather than cut the pace.
