ITINERARY OVERVIEW

Get ready to embark on a transformative journey through the heart of the China. You will explore the profound contrast between China’s ancient imperial past and its dazzling futuristic present. This curated itinerary invites you to experience the "Best of Two Worlds," beginning in the historic capital of Beijing before you are whisked away on a high-speed bullet train to the cosmopolitan metropolis of Shanghai. From private cultural workshops and rickshaw rides through ancient alleyways to exclusive dining atop ancient ramparts and jazz-infused farewells, this program offers a seamless blend of luxury accommodation, culinary mastery, and immersive heritage.

Beijing: The Northern Capital of Legends

Your adventure begins in Beijing, where history comes alive against a backdrop of luxury at the Regent Beijing. You are welcomed with an exclusive dinner featuring authentic Peking Duck at the renowned 1949 Duck De Chine. Your days are filled with bucket-list experiences, including a guided exploration of the Forbidden City and a charming rickshaw tour through the traditional Hutongs. You will have the opportunity to find your balance with a Tai Chi master class at the Temple of Heaven, marvel at the Summer Palace via a chartered boat (weather permitting), or explore the vast history of Tian'anmen Square and Qianmen Avenue. The crown jewel of your Beijing experience is a spectacular Gala Dinner held at the world’s most legendary ancient fortification at Juyongguan Pass.

Shanghai: The Pearl of the Orient

Transitioning from the ancient north, you will board a high-speed bullet train to Shanghai. Here, the pace shifts to sophisticated cool. Imagine the city lights dancing on the water during a sunset cruise along the Huangpu River, followed by the unique flavors of Yunnan-folk cuisine at Lost Heaven on the Bund. You can witness the city’s vertical ambition from the 118th floor of the Shanghai Tower or stay grounded with a cycling tour through the leafy French Concession and a visit to the Yu Garden - all while enjoying ancient tea ceremonies. You can also opt for an excursion to the ancient water town of Zhujiajiao or a hands-on Chinese cooking workshop. We conclude this incredible journey with a stylish farewell dinner, accompanied by a live jazz music and the glittering skyline of Pudong.
