Covering an astonishing range of landscapes, cultures, and historical eras, this remarkable adventure reveals how dramatically China can change from one region to the next. After your arrival, settle into Beijing at your own pace, allowing the capital's ancient rhythm to gradually draw you in. Over the following days, wander beneath the solemn cypress trees of the Temple of Heaven, stroll along historic Qianmen Street, and step into the intimate world of Beijing's hutongs, where gray-brick courtyards, quiet alleyways and everyday life reveal a more personal side of the capital. Then, the legendary Mutianyu Great Wall rises across the mountains like a stone dragon, while the Summer Palace reflects imperial elegance beside its shimmering lake and the 798 Art Zone offers a striking contrast of contemporary creativity, galleries and industrial-chic culture. The journey through Beijing reaches its grandest expression at Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City before slowing down around the waters of Shichahai and the atmospheric lanes of Nanluoguxiang.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Times New Roman;\"\u003e\u003ciframe style=\"width: 100%; aspect-ratio: 16\/9;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/SjrqBxOKsXI?si=GJD1_ZdoYJpGlTPO\" title=\"YouTube video player\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Times New Roman;\"\u003eFrom Beijing, board a high-speed train and watch the landscape transform as you travel toward Shanghai, China's dazzling metropolis of skylines, riverside promenades and old-world charm. At the Bund, historic European-style architecture stands proudly along the Huangpu River, facing a futuristic cityscape that seems to belong to another century. Nearby, the City God Temple introduces a more traditional Shanghai, filled with ornate architecture, bustling streets and the aromas of local delicacies. The journey then moves into the gentle landscapes of Jiangnan, where Tongli Ancient Town drifts through a world of stone bridges, canals, whitewashed houses and slow-moving boats. In Suzhou, the Suzhou Museum and the exquisite Humble Administrator's Garden reveal the refined beauty of classical Chinese aesthetics, while Pingjiang Road invites you to wander beside ancient waterways and discover the quiet poetry of everyday life. Then comes Wuzhen, where the evening light settles over Xizha's canals and bridges, creating a scene that feels less like a destination but more like a living painting.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Times New Roman;\"\u003e\u003ciframe style=\"width: 100%; aspect-ratio: 16\/9;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/oRYxnTx3DBo?si=QSxByZhQj8nZM9HU\" title=\"YouTube video player\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Times New Roman;\"\u003eBack in Shanghai, the 17 Days custom China tour takes a joyful turn with a full day at Shanghai Disneyland, where beloved stories, spectacular rides and colorful entertainment create a day of pure wonder. The following day offers a different kind of discovery, with time to explore the city at your own rhythm around HKRI Taikoo Hui and Louis Vuitton Visionary Journeys, \"THE LOUIS\" Ship, where fashion, design, culture and contemporary creativity come together in an extraordinary urban setting. Shanghai also becomes a destination for the senses, with opportunities to savor the city's culinary heritage at celebrated restaurants and historic dining venues, from the elegance associated with the Peace Hotel to the traditional flavors of Lu Bo Lang and classic Shanghai cuisine. Then, leaving the neon energy of the east coast behind, a flight carries you southwest to Lijiang, where the atmosphere changes completely: mountain air, ancient streets, Naxi culture and a slower rhythm welcome you into a new chapter of the 17 Days custom China tour.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Times New Roman;\"\u003e\u003ciframe style=\"width: 100%; aspect-ratio: 16\/9;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/RRCFXL-iap0?si=HZ_8DHWT2iHdob46\" title=\"YouTube video player\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Times New Roman;\"\u003eLijiang unfolds like a beautifully preserved storybook beneath the shadow of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. Begin beside the tranquil waters of Black Dragon Pool and explore the rich traditions of the Dongba Culture Museum before losing yourself in the winding lanes of Lijiang Old Town, where wooden houses, stone-paved streets and glowing lanterns create an atmosphere of timeless romance. Local flavours become part of the adventure, from the delicate warmth of Crossing-the-Bridge Rice Noodles to the earthy richness of a Yunnan mushroom hotpot. The following day brings one of the journey's most dramatic highlights: the Glacier Park Cableway rises toward the high world of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, while the turquoise waters of Blue Moon Valley shimmer below. The powerful Impression Lijiang show captures the spirit of the region through music, movement and mountain scenery, before the peaceful village of Baisha and its ancient murals offer a quieter glimpse into local history.
