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.

We decided to go to France for 3 weeks in September and knew we needed help planning the trip (we made this decision in August so a very short time frame. We had traveled with Goway a few years ago and were hoping they could help. Our specialist, Farnaz Bagheri, was fantastic, she listened to what we wanted to do and where we wanted to go. She literally arranged everything with her French partners. The guides and drivers were wonderful the accommodations were excellent. Communication was easy from the first discussion to the time we got home. Farnaz planned for us an exceptional trip in a very short time frame. Promise next trip we will contact Goway much earlier. Thanks againSue Blake

As a travel advisor, I recently booked a group of clients on a Goway tour in China following their paddleboat competition, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Christine and Tanya in the groups department were incredibly helpful and made the entire process seamless. Their support was greatly appreciated! The feedback from my clients was overwhelmingly positive, with particular praise for the local tour guides, who helped make the trip so memorable. Everyone had a wonderful time. Thank you, Christine, Tanya, and the Goway team, for taking such great care of my clients. I would happily recommend Goway and look forward to working with them again!customer

I wanna start off by saying that Farnaz our agent was excellent!!! she planned the whole experience from start to finish. We did not have to worry about one thing the entire trip. All the hotels were great. Our transfers from hotels to fairies to airports were all available and always on time. The excursions she planned for us were all top-notch. I was a little skeptical, but just finding GOWAY online stumbling across it. But I’m so glad I made the choice to use them. I hope they definitely using the company again and especially our agent Farnaz!!! Thank you do mych for a wonderful experience! Catherine

Our goal for this trip was a stress free honeymoon where we did not have to think about anything! Goway made that successful. Everything was planned and ready for us. We just had to show up. Brooke recommended fantastic accommodations that were in great locations, clean and comfortable. The tours were took with Thompson's Africa were incredible as well. Brooke was helpful throughout the entire booking process & we wouldn't have had such an incredible experience without her. We really loved our South African holiday and hope to travel there or other locations again with Goway.Taylor

October 9, 2026, was our 50th wedding anniversary. To celebrate, I wanted to take my bride to Europe for 50 days. Also, other than the flight over, I wanted to make the trip by train. I contacted Farnaz at Goway. The trip we planned ultimately extended to 60 days. It was absolutely flawless. We had great hotels, great tours. Even though this trip was complex and had a lot of moving parts, there were no problems. Farnaz and the folks at Goway done a great job. I highly recommend them and will definitely use them on any future tripsDaniel Graff

We had a fabulous Croatia vacation with a cruise from Dubrovnik to Split, followed by land tours on Split and Opatija. Lodging was always comfortable and conveniently located. Tours and activities were perfectly suited to our interests. We have used GoWay for 2 vacations and are currently working on another. Karen
