Illustrative itinerary · 10-day starting route
A first journey to China
Beijing · Xi’an · Shanghai
History, neighbourhood food and a comfortable city finish, with time to settle in between stops.
Beijing
Allow time to settle in, then consider the Forbidden City, hutong neighbourhoods and a Great Wall outing on separate days. Discuss the walking involved and which sights matter most.
Xi’an
Balance the Terracotta Warriors with the city walls and local food. Keep some unstructured time rather than filling every hour with sightseeing.
Shanghai
Finish with architecture, neighbourhood walks and relaxed evenings by the river. A longer stay can make room for galleries or a nearby garden visit.
