China (Guilin, Zhangjiajie, Chongqing, Shanghai)

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

China is the world's most populous country and one of its oldest civilisations, spanning a vast and geographically diverse landscape from karst river valleys to towering sandstone peaks and sprawling megacities. Guilin and the Li River are famous for their dramatic limestone karst scenery, while Zhangjiajie's pillar-like sandstone formations — inspiration for the floating mountains in Avatar — draw hikers and nature lovers. Chongqing, one of the world's largest cities, sits at the confluence of the Yangtze and Jialing rivers and is the gateway to Yangtze River cruises, while Shanghai dazzles with its futuristic skyline, historic Bund waterfront, and vibrant food and nightlife scene. Travellers come for the mix of ancient culture, jaw-dropping natural landscapes, and fast-paced modern urban life.

10 Days Hong Kong to Guilin, Zhangjiajie, Chongqing & Shanghai — Self-Launched

A self-launched version of Top China Travel's 10-day private tour from Hong Kong through Guilin, Yangshuo, Zhangjiajie, Chongqing and Shanghai. Instead of a private guide, driver and 4-star hotels, you'll use China's excellent high-speed rail network, book the same scenic areas (Longji Terraces, Li River cruise, Yuanjiajie, Tianmen Mountain, Hongya Cave, the Bund) directly, and sleep in hostels and budget guesthouses. The route is fast-paced but hugely rewarding: karst landscapes, the floating mountains of Avatar, a Yangtze-side megacity and a sleek riverfront metropolis. Note that China now offers visa-free entry for many nationalities (currently 240-hour transit and up to 30-day unilateral visa-free schemes depending on passport) — check the latest rules for yours before booking flights. All costs are approximate per person.

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for China (Guilin, Zhangjiajie, Chongqing, Shanghai) 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: "Eat the strangest thing on the menu every single day for a week and document the regret."
