China Travel Itinerary, Plan a Trip to China
Suggested China Travel Itinerary
The tour itinerary/routes in China can be organized not only based on classic destinations like Beijing, Xi'an, Shanghai, Guilin, Chengdu, and Hong Kong but also taking into consideration each season. In spring, you can explore warmer places with blossoming flowers such as Inner Mongolia, Xinjiang, Sichuan, and Yunnan. Summer is ideal for cooler destinations like Tibet, Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia, and Guizhou. In autumn, consider Xinjiang, Gansu, Ningxia, Sichuan, Guilin, and Fujian. For winter, destinations like Harbin, Yunnan, and Guilin are suitable. Of course, there are many interesting routes, and you can consult with us for assistance in planning!
