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.

This is an excellent tour agency that provides an excellent, all inclusive safari experience in South Africa, especially in the renown Kruger National Park. The agency will provide a very detailed, day-by-day itinerary of the trip, which, for the most part, describes exactly the order of activities that a customer will experience from start to end of the reserved trip. Our safari trip included a hotel pick-up in Cape Town in the beginning of the safari trip and drop-off at the end of the trip. Flights to and from either Johannesburg or Mpumalanga airport are included. We reserved a 3-day safari trip which included an afternoon safari the first day, a full day safari the 2nd day, and a morning safari the 3rd day. The lodge where we stayed was very clean with modern and convenient accommodations, including WIFI and breakfast. The guides are well trained and very knowledgeable about all animals we came across during our trip, and were also very courteous, polite and easy to engage in conversation. They made our safari trip exciting but safe! I would highly recommend this safari tour agency. Christos Patriotis

I had an amazing trip. It was more than I could have expected. I got to see everything I wished to see while I was abroad. All the guides were lovely and provided me with excellent knowledge on their cities/tours. Especially in China where it was their holiday week and they all took time away from their families to make me around their cities. The tour company in Japan made sure I got to every tour destination and knew what the plan was for each day. This is the second time I have used Goway for traveling and it has exceeded my expectations. katieahotmail.com

We just returned from a 2 week tour of South Africa, Zimbabwe(Victoria Falls) and Botswana, and had a fabulous time! This was the third tour I've used Goway, and as usual, it was such a positive experience! The accommodations that were booked were awesome! The hotels were luxurious, clean and the staff, all so warm and welcoming! Our travel agent, Vanessa Lloyd, did a fabulous job arranging everything, and was always available to answer my many questions! We'll be using them again, next year when we take a family trip to the Greek Islands and Turkey! They are always consistent in the quality of the hotels and experiences, and I highly recommend them for your travel needs!Fran Nitta Barnes

We are still on our journey in Italy. At Capri now and heading to the Amalfi Coast. So far, we can’t thank Goway enough for putting our itinerary together so quickly. Everything is going well and hope the next 10 days are perfect too. Gladys Vivian

Can't say enough good things about Goway Travel. From the very start, our travel rep, Harpreet, listened carefully to what we were hoping to see and do on our first trip to Japan. She asked great questions and then came back to us with a detailed itinerary packed with adventure and fun, and all within our travel budget. From the moment we took off from LAX, Harpreet had made sure we had every tour voucher, hotel voucher, plane ticket, train ticket, literally every detail covered. All we had to do was follow our itinerary. Also, Harpreet booked us into terrific hotels. Each one was spotlessly clean, comfortable, included a full (and delicious) breakfast and, most importantly, was centrally located to all of the activities she had planned for us. So everything was a 5 or 10-minute walk away. In three weeks' time we were able to visit six cities and so many fascinating shrines, temples, castles, imperial palaces - most of which were World Heritage sites. Harpreet also tucked in fabulous "experiences" like learning how to make sushi with a professional chef, enjoying a tea ceremony and watching graceful Geishas dance. My husband and I are seasoned travelers. But we don't speak Japanese and we really knew very little about the country. There is no way we would have been able to see and do all of the fascinating things we did in Japan if we hadn't chosen Goway Travel to be our guide. Many thanks for an unforgettable trip!

Great country (Italy), great people and love the feel you get by just being you. Ingrid Aird did a great job with a pair of tours one private and one group. Organizing pickup from airport and flights. Hotel, Enterprise Hotel, after a bit of a rough start getting us into a proper room, was more than excellent.Thomas Helps

We were looking forward to a magical vacation in Greece, and Goway Travel delivered on all fronts. This is the second time that we have booked with them (the first being an incredible excursion in Thailand), and everything went along swimmingly. Only on one occasion did a tour go sideways, but our Goway specialist (Patrick) took care of it for us. When your tour involves many flights, numerous hotels, various tours, ferries, and transfers, it is nice to know that your travel specialist can handle it all. Goway (from Patrick to all the other staff involved) handled everything in such a professional manner. Thanks Goway for such an incredible experience in Greece. I look forward to another adventure in the near future!Jenny Friess

We recently returned from France - three cities in two weeks - and our trip was fantastic! Jacqueline helped us with a return to France with no worries and concerns. Drivers met us at every destination- hotels were superb and the individual tours memorable. This is a return vacation with Goway and we could not be more pleased. The customer service is top notch and all questions answered promptly. For us seniors, we appreciate all the thoughtfulness and consideration.ElizaGray

While researching suppliers for a clients Thailand honeymoon, I remembered being referred to GoWay by a longterm TA ….because they “get it right and get it done!” I had already started their training modules, so I put in a quote. Immediately, Taylor responded with a very thorough email and we decided to chat. I gave him my specifics and he again responded immediately and matched my client’s travel needs 100%. I found it comforting to speak with a country expert with the knowledge I needed. My clients booked their vacation and are very excited about their itinerary! Thank you Taylor for making this process seamless.Karla B
