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.

It is with the utmost pleasure and heartfelt appreciation that I share my exceptional experience working with Taha Colombowala, Goway's distinguished Groups Specialist. Our journey together began in October 2023, when Taha took the helm in orchestrating what was to be a remarkable group trip to Ghana. When unforeseen circumstances necessitated a change in plans, Taha demonstrated his extraordinary expertise by recommending Morocco as an alternative destination — a suggestion that proved to be nothing short of absolutely brilliant! From the very first interaction to the final farewell, Taha has been a consummate professional in every sense of the word. His lightning-fast response times, encyclopedic knowledge of destinations, and remarkable ability to pivot seamlessly under pressure are truly second to none. What sets Taha apart, however, is not only his professional acumen but also his warm, patient, and genuinely enthusiastic attitude toward accommodating the unique needs and personalities of every member of our group. Taha Colombowala is, without question, a shining star within the Goway family, and an extraordinary ambassador for everything the brand represents. I cannot recommend him highly enough — he has exceeded every expectation and then some. Working with Taha has been an absolute privilege, and I look forward to many more incredible adventures ahead!DESIREE DUCKETT

Everything was expertly planned, from the drivers to the hotels to the tours to the flights. We particularly enjoyed Hobart and the animal sanctuary, Adelaide and the trip to Kangaroo Island, Melbourne and the evening tour with dinner and drinks, and Sydney with the private boat cruise of the Harbour. We will definitely use Goway again.SARA Wiebe

There were 4 travelers on this trip. All of us were in our late 70's. We started planning this trip 6 months prior to our travel date and had a lot of questions regarding this trip. Our Goway Travel Specialist, Karen Larrota, always answered our questions in a timely and complete manner. We traveled to Quito, Ecuador, the Galapagos, The Sacred Valley in Peru, Machu Picchu, and Cusco in Peru. Not only were the destinations and accommodations excellent, but every tour guide and driver were beyond excellent. The entire trip went smoothly every step of the way, which was amazing given the fact that there were numerous flights and hotels included in our package. We found out that the tour company that Goway used, Condor Travel, checked on us with our guide to make sure we were doing OK which we thought was very nice but also amusing as we are fairly fit older adults. Would also like to mention that we did a cruise thru the Galapagos on the Galapagos Legend which was arranged thru Go Galapagos - Kleintouurs. This portion of our tour was also excellent as were the wildlife guides and staff. We continue to discuss how wonderful this trip was with our family and friends and how wonderful this experience was. Would definately use Goway for our travel needs in the future.Dianne

After spending some time with our agent, we felt that she understood exactly what we had in mind as far as the level of service, etc, we were hoping for. The trip exceeded our expectations. Lori kept us busy(not too busy!) and we had many, many very exciting experiences. Bruce Belshaw

Aylin is an exceptionally proficient advisor. Coordinating my clients simultaneously often feels like herding cats, but she has remained patient and accommodating through every modification and delay. Goway continues to be my go-to for complex itineraries, and they never disappoint.Nick Cron, ACC

My daughter and I had a wonderful 2 weeks in New Zealand! The country is so beautiful and the people so friendly. Our destination specialist did a great job with planning and organizing the itinerary, choosing our hotels, and organizing transportation. The hotels were absolutely beautiful and we had great views. We felt right at home and found all of the staff to be friendly and accommodating. There were no issues with our itinerary and our excursions we were always on the list. Our transportation was always ready and waiting for us. We want to thank Goway Travel for their hard work and patience with us in planning this trip. Any changes that needed to be made were communicated timely. We also want to thank you for the beautiful weather during the entire 2 weeks it was perfect every day 😀. It was a memorable trip that we will never forget and we will think of Goway when we plan our next adventure. Because it was not just a vacation; it was an adventure!Connie Wenhardt

Brigitta Fuller is Amazing! She was my group coordinator. She understood the assignment and all the nuances I was trying to achieve. The itinerary she curated was fantastic. If you want someone who truly cares about her group and what they are trying to achieve. I will always reach out to Brigitta first for Europe groups. Kathryn Walker
