Your adventure begins the moment you touch down in Shanghai, where a comfortable transfer whisks you to your hotel before dusk unveils the city's true magic. In the evening, the Bund reveals itself as the very soul of Shanghai—stroll along this iconic promenade as colonial-era buildings glow warmly on one side while the futuristic skyline of Pudong blazes across the Huangpu River, their reflections dancing on the dark water like a symphony of light. The next day immerses you deeper into Shanghai's contrasts: lose yourself among ancient bronzes and jade carvings at the Shanghai Museum, wander the plane-tree-lined lanes of the French Concession where history breathes through every art deco balcony, then rocket into tomorrow aboard the Maglev Train, feeling the exhilarating rush of the fastest ground speed on Earth!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom Shanghai, you fly westward to Xi'an, where time collapses as you walk where Silk Road caravans once rested. The Muslim Street assaults your senses with sizzling lamb skewers and the sweet steam of persimmon cakes, a delicious prelude to the Grand Tang Mall, where golden lanterns and performers in flowing Tang robes transport you back to China's most flourishing dynasty. But the true wonder awaits at the Terracotta Army—thousands of life-sized warriors, each face uniquely carved, standing silent guard for 2,200 years in a tomb hailed among the world's top ten treasures. You will also visit the romantic Huaqing Palace, where the thermal pools still whisper the legendary love story of Emperor Xuanzong and his beloved consort Yang Guifei. After absorbing the rich history of this ancient capital, you board a flight to Zhangjiajie, leaving behind the dusty legions for a landscape that defies logic and gravity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe amazing Shanghai Xi'an Zhangjiajie Guilin Chengdu tour now transforms into a surreal encounter with nature's most impossible architecture. Here, in the UNESCO wonderland that inspired \u003cem\u003eAvatar\u003c\/em\u003e, you will ascend Yuanjiajie to stand before the real Hallelujah Mountain, walk the wild ridges of Yangjiajie, and gaze from Tianzi Mountain as thousands of stone pillars pierce a sea of clouds like a petrified forest of giants. Descend into the Golden Whip Stream canyon, where crystal waters giggle over mossy rocks beneath vertical cliffs draped in ferns, then marvel at the Ten-Mile Gallery's natural stone sculptures rising from idyllic villages. For the ultimate thrill, conquer Tianmen Mountain via the world's longest high-mountain cableway, climb the 999 steps to Heaven's Gate—a giant karst hole punched through the cliff—and test your nerve on the glass skywalk suspended 1,400 meters above a sheer drop, the 99 bends of the mountain road snaking far below like a dragon's spine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe style=\"width: 100%; aspect-ratio: 16\/9;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ZVVuKpezc7U?si=6ei4hN1plyHO5QJ4\" title=\"YouTube video player\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA high-speed train then glides you to Guilin, where the karst peaks soften into the rounded green gumdrops of a living watercolor painting. Cruise the Li River as emerald waters dance past the very scene printed on China's 20-yuan note, then wander Yangshuo's West Street, a 1,400-year-old cobblestone lane where Taoist temples stand beside backpacker cafés in a fancy hub of Eastern and Western culture exchange. Bicycle through Yangshuo's Ten-Mile Gallery—a different gallery from Zhangjiajie's, this one a breathtaking belt of dramatic limestone spires, mirror-like rice paddies, and timeless villages that seems to have floated straight out of a classical scroll. After a final Guilin city tour admiring the Sun and Moon Pagodas, you fly to Chengdu, where the pace slows to the city's famous man (leisurely) rhythm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe style=\"width: 100%; aspect-ratio: 16\/9;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/PnvxooNF96k?si=rYFiosWqHMpQyPWX\" title=\"YouTube video player\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe final chapter of your Shanghai Xi'an Zhangjiajie Guilin Chengdu tour unfolds in the spicy, relaxed capital of Sichuan. A cruise brings you before the Leshan Giant Buddha, the largest stone Buddha on Earth, whose 71-meter-tall serenity has calmed the confluence of three rivers since the Tang Dynasty. Then you sink into a bamboo chair for a traditional tea ceremony, watching water arc from a long-spouted kettle as locals play mahjong and embody the art of \u003cem\u003ebai lan\u003c\/em\u003e (doing nothing). As evening falls, the Sichuan Opera stage explodes with the ancient, closely guarded art of Face-Changing (\u003cem\u003eBian Lian\u003c\/em\u003e)—performers swirl and strike poses, and with a swipe of a fan or a flick of the head, vividly colored masks transform from gold to green to red in the blink of an eye, leaving you breathless and mystified. On your final morning, after one last hotel breakfast, a comfy transfer delivers you to the airport, your heart full of misty peaks, silent warriors, and the lingering magic of a journey across China's greatest treasures. Your happy tour wraps up here, but the memories will dance in your mind like those changing masks for years to come!\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHighlights\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eThe Bund: the soul of Shanghai where every building tells the story of Shanghai's century long vicissitudes.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormer French Concession: a foreign concession in Shanghai from 1849 until 1943, where colonial-era architecture meets local life in one of Shanghai’s most charming districts\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTerracotta Army: a vast collection of terracotta sculptures depicting the armies of Qin Shi Huang\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Grand Tang Mall: the only large-scale Tang style architectural complex pedestrian street in China with the background of the prosperous Tang culture\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eZhangjiajie National Forest Park: a wonderland of towering sandstone pillars, lush forests and breathtaking landscapes that inspired the floating mountains in the film \u003cem\u003eAvatar\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Li River: an emerald river dancing through a vast range of karst peaks, which represents a very charming living Chinese ink painting\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eYangshuo Ten-Mile Gallery: a world-famous picturesque landscape belt that features dramatic karst peaks, clear rivers and endless fields that all create a very charming Chinese ink painting\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLeshan Giant Buddha: A 71-meter (233 ft) tall stone statue built during Tang dynasty in ancient China, the Leshan Giant Buddha is the largest and tallest stone Buddha statue in the world\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSichuan Opera Face-Changing: an ancient Chinese dramatic art of the Sichuan opera in which the performers change vividly colored masks from one to another almost instantaneously with the swipe of a fan, a movement of the head or wave of the hand\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTea Ceremony: enjoy Chengdu's traditional tea ceremony, a graceful, time-honored ritual performed in bamboo-chair teahouses where masters wield long-spouted brass kettles to pour steaming water from arm's length without spilling a drop\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGeneral Information\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCode of Tour: CTT0000064\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLength of Tour: 13 Days\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eArrival City: Shanghai\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDeparture City: Chengdu\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePrice of Tour: inquiry\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"CTT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51337873719589,"sku":"CTT0000064","price":0.0,"currency_code":"CNY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0959\/8871\/1717\/files\/The_Bund_Shanghai_tour_China_travel_1.jpg?v=1768532599"},{"product_id":"5-days-chengdu-tour","title":"5 Days Chengdu Tour","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eChengdu is a city and a huge garden, weaving a web of life with delicious food and tea houses.
