China tours are a popular way to explore the largest country in the Orient. Escorted China tours combine the essentials of sightseeing with the convenience of pre-arranged hotel accommodations and motorcoach transportation. A skilled driver and knowledgeable tour guide will accompany you on escorted China tours. We also offer independent China tours, air and hotel packages at tour operators' low negotiated rates. Independent China tours provide you with ample free time to mold your own China travel itinerary. We even offer China vacations that include a cruising portion on the Yangtze River.

Among the well-known sights you might see on China tours are the Forbidden City in the center of Beijing, the Ming Tombs near the city, and the terra-cotta warriors guarding the Dayan Pagoda near Xi'an. On many of our China travel itineraries, you'll see the famed Tian'anmen Square, an enormous public meeting place stretching 100 acres. And a visit to the magnificent Great Wall of China is a frequent inclusion in China tour packages. Several China tours include a stay in Shanghai, where you can visit a silk factory or the renowned Shanghai Museum. Hong Kong is another hot spot on China tours, as its Stanley Market gives international shoppers the chance to feast on inexpensive clothing, arts and crafts.

With a history spanning so many centuries, cultural enrichment is an integral part of any China travel itinerary. You might find time to take in a Chinese Opera, with bright, bold costumes and dramatic plots. Or, you might prefer a Chinese acrobat performance, an event offered on some China vacations. Evening free time is a common component of China tour packages, so you can check out a local night spot with newly made friends who share in your China travel explorations.

China travel would not be complete without opportunities to savor authentic Chinese cuisine. On our China tour packages, you'll enjoy meals centered around local flavors that stem from centuries of evolving cooking customs. If you are the type who appreciates the chance to taste the local cuisine when you travel, China will not disappoint.
