Build your time in China around the things you enjoy. Use these ideas to choose a city, fill an afternoon between meetings or add a day to a private trip.
Food and tea
Try a Sichuan meal in Chengdu, set aside a morning for Cantonese dim sum in Guangzhou or spend an afternoon over tea near Hangzhou’s West Lake. Tell us which dishes you are curious about and flag any dietary needs when you enquire.
History and neighbourhoods
Pair Beijing’s palace courtyards with a slower walk through its hutong lanes. In Xi’an, leave time for the Terracotta Warriors and an evening in the city. In Shanghai, follow the waterfront and explore nearby streets to see how the city has changed.
Mountains and winter scenery
Consider Zhangjiajie for a day among sandstone peaks, with a route matched to your group’s walking pace. For an ice-and-snow visit in Harbin, allow time for outdoor stops and indoor breaks, and check seasonal dates before settling the itinerary.
Coastal walks and slower days
Spend an afternoon by the water in Xiamen or leave a beach day open in Sanya. These are starting points for travellers who want fewer transfers and more time in one place. Outdoor plans depend on weather and local conditions.
