1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

Beijing and Xi'an are two of China's most historically significant cities, together forming one of the country's most popular cultural travel routes. Beijing, the national capital, is home to iconic landmarks including the Great Wall, the Forbidden City, and Tiananmen Square, alongside a thriving modern metropolis of hutong alleyways, world-class cuisine, and vibrant street life. Xi'an, one of the oldest cities in the world and the eastern terminus of the ancient Silk Road, is best known for the awe-inspiring Terracotta Army of Emperor Qin Shi Huang and its remarkably well-preserved Ming Dynasty city walls. Together, they attract history enthusiasts, culture seekers, and first-time visitors to China looking to explore the country's imperial past and rich heritage.

Self-Launched Beijing & Xi'an: Great Wall, Forbidden City & Terracotta Army

A self-launched 6-day route through China's two greatest historical cities, covering the highlights of Travel China Guide's private "BJ08" itinerary — Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City, the Mutianyu Great Wall, the Summer Palace, the Terracotta Army and the Xi'an City Wall — but booked independently. Travel between cities on the high-speed rail (Beijing–Xi'an in ~4.5 hours for around £55), stay in cheap hutong hostels and centrally located Xi'an guesthouses, and use the superb metro plus pre-booked skip-the-line tickets instead of a private car and guide. All figures are rough per-person estimates in GBP and exclude international flights and the Chinese tourist visa.

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for Beijing & Xi'an, China yet — which, frankly, is an opportunity.

Wait, what's a Mission?It's not a scheduled trip with dates and a minimum group size like a Departure — it's a goal. Learn to dive, do a Muay Thai camp, live somewhere for a month and work on something, chase one very specific experience. Post it, and other people chasing the same thing find you.

Be the first to post one: "Learn the first 20 seconds of a local dance, then perform it, uninvited, at every bar you visit."
