1. The Forbidden City, Beijing
Start your trip in China’s historical capital and one of the world’s greatest cities. Beijing is home to incredible landmarks such as the Great Wall, Tiananmen Square, the Summer Palace and the Forbidden City.
At the heart of Beijing, the Forbidden City is an imperial palace complex commissioned in 1406 by the Ming dynasty. Enter via the Gate of Supreme Harmony and follow your guide through the warren-like hutongs (alleyways) while learning more about this traditional area.
2. The Great Wall, Beijing
No visit to China is complete without walking a section of the Great Wall. This 21,196 kilometre-long fortification is the most iconic sight in the country, and for good reason. Weaving through mountainous terrain, the Great Wall stretches from the east coast to the western desert and is easily accessible from Beijing.
On a Wendy Wu tour, walk a section of the Great Wall in the morning then follow your guide to a jade factory, where you can buy a handcrafted souvenir. Spend the afternoon strolling through the lush gardens of the Summer Palace.
3. Terracotta Warriors, Xi’an
Get up close and personal with the Terracotta Army of China’s first emperor, Qin Shi Huang. Unearthed by rural workers in the 1970s, this army of life-sized warriors and horses is one of the world’s most enigmatic archaeological discoveries. Beyond the statues, take note of the preserved 14th-century city walls that enclose Xian’s old town.
4. Shanghai
End your China voyage in Shanghai, a bustling cosmopolitan city steeped in history. From the city’s exceptional dining scene to the dazzling skyscrapers and historical architecture, there is so much to do and see. Take a walk around the Yu Garden, visit a silk factory and then spend the evening on a city-view cruise along the Huangpu River.
