The Enchantment of China's Ancient Cities

In the heart of every China luxury trip lies the harmonious blend of the old and new, where ancient pagodas stand tall beside gleaming skyscrapers. Beijing, the nation's capital, is a must-see. Here, the whispers of the Ming Dynasty echo through the majestic halls of the Forbidden City, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, which offers an insightful glimpse into the imperial past. Just outside the city, the Great Wall of China winds over the undulating hills, offering a breathtaking sight that history enthusiasts will treasure.

Further south, the city of Xi’an beckons, renowned as the home of the Terracotta Army—a collection of over 8,000 life-sized sculptures guarding the tomb of China's first emperor, Qin Shi Huang. Exploring Xi'an's winding streets gives travellers the chance to taste many local delights, including the succulent jianbing, a popular Chinese street food.

A Journey through China’s Natural Wonders

No luxury travel package in China is complete without an excursion into its natural landscapes that seem to leap from the pages of a classical painting. The Li River, threading its way through Guangxi province, presents a panorama of dramatic karst peaks and serene waters—a scene best experienced aboard a private river cruise.

For those seeking tranquility, the serene beauty of Jiuzhaigou Valley in Sichuan awaits, famed for its multi-level waterfalls and diverse wildlife. The vibrant colours of the lakes here, reflecting lush forests and snow-dusted mountains, create an unforgettable vista.

Cultural Immersion through Art and Food

China luxury trips are not only about visiting iconic sites but also immersing oneself in the vivid cultures that thrive across the nation. The art scene in Shanghai is dynamic and eclectic, with cutting-edge galleries like the Power Station of Art offering contemporary takes on China’s cultural narrative.

Food forms the heart of any cultural journey, and China’s culinary landscape is as varied as its terrain. Dining in China runs the gourmet gamut, from street-side dumplings to opulent banquets featuring Peking duck. In Chengdu, the fiery spirit of Sichuan cuisine will awaken your palate, with dishes like mapo tofu and hot pot delivering bold, unforgettable flavours.

Luxury Accommodations with a Nod to Tradition

Luxury tours of China frequently include accommodations where extravagance meets tradition. In Beijing, the revitalized hutongs showcase boutique hotels that merge historic structure with contemporary comfort. Meanwhile, the serene landscapes of Yangshuo host exquisite eco-resorts that offer luxurious stays garnished with spectacular views of the Karst Mountains.

For a truly unique experience, stay in a traditional Chinese courtyard or siheyuan, where the architecture itself tells stories of the dynasties past. These accommodations often feature elegant decor that harmonizes with nature, wooden carvings, and peaceful gardens, perfect for meditation or simply unwinding.

The Essence of a China Luxury Trip

A trip to China offers more than just sightseeing; it is an immersive dive into a realm where tradition dances with modernity, leaving a lasting imprint on the traveller's soul. Whether it's the tranquillity of Buddhist temples, the pulse of bustling markets, or the serenity of natural wonders, China captivates every visitor.

From savoring tempting street food to experiencing lavish opera performances, every moment on these China luxury tours is crafted to inspire, leaving you richer in spirit and imagery.

It is very enjoyable to travel in China by high-speed train, but you should avoid travelling during the National Holidays from October 1 to 7 and from May 1 to 4, as they get extra busy.

Jinxian Road in Shanghai is a small road but full of superb, Michelin-recognized restaurants. I highly recommend visiting here on your travels to China.

Bijal and Martin (tour guide in Kenya) made this the trip of a lifetime. I felt safe every minute of the trip. I did not care for the travel from the Serengeti to Ngorogoro Crater. I felt the last hotel was too far from the crater i was exhausted not wanted to travel to the crater. The travel was absolutely brutal for 6 hoursKathie Becker

Our safari in Tanzania was excellent. Brooke Theron, our Goway representative, was easy to work with, responsive and knowledgeable. Our guide in Tanzania, Anwar Razak, was outstanding. His knowledge and his driving ability was impressive. He was also engaging. We enjoyed our time with Anwar. The camps that Goway recommended were comfortable, welcoming and surprisingly luxurious while capturing the essence of the Serengeti and Ngorongoro. We had a wonderful trip. Jack B.

I am so happy to use Goway for my tour experience while visiting Vietnam during Oct 15 through October 29, 2026. We had 3 very good, thoughtful, and caring guides in Hanoi, Danang, and Ho Chi Minh City. They were very knowledgeable for each of their respective areas. they all fulfilled every part of our itinerary. I wish to give an extra acknowledgment to my guide in Danang and Hoi An. Mr. Phung Van Hung was very friendly and caring for me. During my stay in Hoi An, I became sick and required a visit to the local hospital in Hoi An. I contacted Mr. Phung, and he graciously offered to take me and stay with me to interpret during my visit for medical care even though he was not working that day. I really appreciate his extra above and beyond service he provided. I really must let Goway know, he is a wonderful guide!George C.

Suzzette and her team provided exceptional support throughout our year‑long planning process for our Bali group. Despite multiple changes, updates, and last‑minute cancellations, she remained organized, responsive, and solution‑focused. Asia Trails Indonesia delivered a seamless experience from arrival to departure, and our guides, Dayu and Adit, were outstanding; prompt, knowledgeable, and attentive to every detail. The coordination across multiple departure cities, the curated excursions, and the overall flow of the itinerary were executed beautifully. My group thoroughly enjoyed the trip and is already asking about returning. I highly recommend Suzzette as a group coordinator for her professionalism, dedication, and high‑quality service.Anchored Memories Travel

Mike K. graciously provided us with a perfect itinerary, offering us flexible high quality options for our trip. We added in a few complex details and he maneuvered around them creating smooth transitions. Planning an overseas 11 day trip can be overwhelming and Mike made everything feel easy. I highly recommend!Amy Challgren

Goway staff was available to us throughout our entire trip to Costa Rica. Their involvement was seamless and surprisingly smooth between them and all of our hotels and tours. We have been totally impressed with their involvement with our travel agent and their complete resolution of the only problem we had during the 2 different international trips that we have taken.Diana McCrory

Thank you to Goway for a great and enjoyable 7 day tour in China, for our Canadian group of 14! Very special thanks to the local guides in Shanghai, Xi’an and Beijing ( Richard, Richard and James) who were second to none! Each was a knowledgeable ambassador for their home city, working hard to ensure our enjoyment and comfort, and to showcase the beauty of each area and its current and historical sites. They very kindly and patiently assisted everyone, and especially accommodated 2 of our group who encountered unexpected wellness challenges. The local bus drivers for our group were experts too, keeping us on time and safe on the roads and highways. Hotels were beautiful, welcoming, well located and appointed, quiet, comfortable and clean. Additional travel arrangements by air and high speed train went off without a hitch. KATHLEEN LLOYD

This was the first time we used Goway Travel and Brooke Theron was absolutely the best to deal with. Our safari in Africa was fabulous and we were able to have all four questions answered before we left. It was a trip to remember and we would recommend both Brooke and Goway to other who are looking for a great experience. Thanks Brooke and Goway.Joyce Robinson
