Your Chinese adventure begins as you arrive at Beijing Capital International Airport, where our English-speaking representative will be waiting to transfer you to your hotel. After a long international flight, the remainder of the day is yours to rest and acclimate, with no scheduled activities or meals, allowing you to recharge for the exciting days ahead.

After breakfast at your hotel, you will head out to visit the world-famous Tian'anmen Square, the largest city-center square on earth. From there, step directly into the breathtaking Forbidden City, where emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties ruled for over 500 years. Following a stop at a local pearl shop, you will spend your afternoon exploring the Summer Palace, the largest and best-preserved imperial garden in China, known for its ornately painted Long Corridor and the famous Marble Boat. You can wrap up your evening with an optional Acrobatic Show before enjoying a delicious Indian dinner.

Fuel up with breakfast before diving into Chinese jade culture at the Longdi Jade shop to start your full-day tour. Next, you will travel to the fabled Great Wall of China at the Juyong Pass, a massive UNESCO World Heritage defensive structure where you will enjoy an authentic Chinese lunch right at the wall. On the way back, stop for photos outside the striking Olympic National Stadium (Bird’s Nest) and the National Aquatics Center (Water Cube). End your day with an optional Hutong Family Tour to experience local neighborhood life, followed by a warm Indian dinner.

Enjoy breakfast at your hotel and spend the morning relaxing or picking up last-minute souvenirs until checking out before midday. You will be transferred directly to the airport or railway station for your roughly 6-hour domestic flight or high-speed train journey to Shanghai. Upon arrival in Shanghai, an airport representative will assist with your direct transfer to the hotel, leaving you with a completely free evening to dive into the city's nightlife or rest.

Your Shanghai discovery begins at 10:00 AM after breakfast, starting with visits to the bustling People's Square and the premier shopping strip of Nanjing Road. After exploring a traditional silk shop, you will head to the old Yuyuan Garden area to admire the exterior of the historic pavilions, bridges, and the iconic nine zigzag bridge over the golden fish pond. Spend some time browsing Yu Market, choose an optional excursion to the 88th floor of the Jinmao Tower, and finish the evening exploring the historic Bund waterfront—with an option to take a scenic Huangpu River Cruise—before sitting down to an Indian dinner.

Savor your final breakfast at the hotel followed by a free morning for any last-minute packing or exploring. After checking out before midday, you will receive a direct transfer to Pudong Airport for your international flight back to India. To add a final thrill to your journey, you can choose an optional one-way ride on the ultra-fast Maglev Train on your way to the airport.
