Imagine embarking on a journey that unravels the timeless marvels and enthralling contrasts of one of the world’s oldest civilizations—China. For the discerning traveller, China offers a tapestry of luxury and tradition intertwined in its vast landscapes, historical artifacts, and rich cultural expressions. Whether you’re captivated by the allure of modern cities or the secrecy of secluded ancient villages, China luxury tours provide an unparalleled experience.

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.

Once again, Goway Travel has provided us with an amazing travel experience, and the customized itinerary prepared by Joanne Palanuik was second to none. She was the main reason that Australia is a "trip of a lifetime" for us. Her attention to detail and recognizing what would make this a special trip for us is noteworthy and much appreciated.Wally

I would recommend GoWay for travel anytime. I had a private tour of India built for me, after I was invited to my friend's wedding. I travelled around northern India with my driver for 10 days. I had a new guide most every day, for the trip, as we went from location to location. Absolutely everything was amazing!! I honestly can't say there was a negative moment in any of it. I felt 100% safe travelling alone with GoWay's experts. My lodgings were excellent and someone was always available for support, if need be. This was one of the best experiences of my life!!! Thank you so much GoWay!!Trudy Buelow

Our trip was great and your partners in Egypt met and exceeded our expectations. Having the guides and drivers was a new experience for us but absolutely invaluable We would recommend Goway to anyone.joe levack

We had an amazing trip to Southeast Asia. We would like to thank Goway for organizing a memorable vacation. The tour guides were very personable, kind, respectful and knowledgeable about their countries. It was nice to be able to ask them questions and hear about their daily lives. They went above and beyond to make our trip as enjoyable as possible. We were so glad our tours were private as the guides were very flexible in accommodating us as I often could not fully participate after spending time in a hospital with food poisoning. We enjoyed our time in Singapore. The driver who drove us from and to the airport gave us a compressive overview of daily life in Singapore. It was fascinating to hear how home ownership, retirement and driving was so different there. The accommodations were excellent, the staff were all very kind and helpful. We have to particularly commend the staff at the Siesta Classic Ma May in Hanoi. Ann at reception was so kind to my husband when I was in the hospital asking him regularly how I was doing and arranging late checkout without being asked. And Suzie our Hanoi tour guide for rearranging a tour time for my husband then dropping him off at the hospital. She also managed to take me to see the Ho Chi Minh property on our way to the airport as I had missed so much of Hanoi. I would also like to thank Aurel Vion, the Goway representative from Paris, who personally called me while I was in the hospital to enquire how I was doing, cancel our Halong cruise and arrange an extra night in the hotel for my husband. It was much appreciated. Hoang was super flexible with our tours in Hue and Hoi An as I was still very weak having just gotten out of hospital. We really enjoyed our visit to the private pottery museum and meet the owner and our ride on the Perfume River in a private boat and our voyage through the mountain pass to Danang. Andy, the tour guide who picked us up from the Boutique Hoi A Resort helped us avoid the long lineups in the Danang airport, again very appreciated. Tuan our tour guide in Saigon was also very accommodating. We really enjoyed our days with him relaxing on our private sampan to Cai Be and our trip to Can Tho to visit the floating markets. He also took us to the War Remnants Museum on the way back to Saigon as we had missed our tour of the Cu Chi tunnels because our flight in Danang was delayed 4 hours. And poor Phil in Bangkok, he tried his best with the culinary tour. Unfortunately after the food poisoning we were being very cautious in what we ate. We did appreciate his tour of Chinatown and the great meal of Pad Thai. He also provided us with excellent directions so we could take the subway, skytrain and ferry by ourselves. We will never forget how we were able to experience and appreciate cultures much different than ours. We have only good things to say about Goway and certainly always recommend the company to all we know. We have already had an acquaintance of ours book a trip with the company. And lastly we must thank Katherine Samsonkinai for arranging another excellent vacation. We will certainly continue to recommend her and will be calling her again to organize our next big trip.

We thoroughly enjoyed our trip to Egypt. We were a small group trip with only three people. The guides and transfers from Emeco were excellent.Always on time and very knowledgeable. Our transfer went smoothly due to these guides. They were very efficient and made sure we didn’t have to wait in lines too long. The Sun Goddess was a beautiful riverboat and all of our meals were excellent. One suggestion is to include tips . We were always trying to find the right amounts for tips. Also the times for most excursions were very early in the morning….5:30 or 6:00 and that was not on our itinerary. I understand the early times to avoid the crowds. All in all we were very pleased with GoWay and would use them again in the future. Thinking of South Africa Safari. Also would like to thank our agent Elise for answering all of my questions and concerns. We felt very safe in Egypt. Sue Scarborough

As a travel agent, it was very easy to work with Goway. They were very responsive, especially Osvaldo Gonzalez, even when the client wanted to make in-destination changes a day or two prior. My clients absolutely enjoyed everything about their trip to Costa Rica - they specifically mentioned that all the drivers and guides they had were excellent, friendly, and knowledgeable. I would not hesitate to use Goway again for a custom trip to Costa Rica. Shawna Woods Roy

We, three couples, all enjoyed our time in Peru, despite the small amount of time we had, and the fact one person had injury while on the cruise prior to arriving in Lima. We did want to experience Machu Picchu without spending as many days as others usually do, since we had been traveling prior to that already. Kajal at Goway was able to tailor a well packed three-day private tour for our small group of six. Every detail, from the moment we got off the cruise ship, to Cusco, to Machu Picchu, and back to Lima airport hotel, was well taken care of. Kajal was very efficient in helping with the requested itinerary, and in staying on desired budget, as well answered all questions in timely fashion. We were able to accomplish what we were not sure if possible, all thanks to Kajal at Goway. Our experience in Peru was very positive. We felt the tours organized by Goway had enabled us to have great and impressive exposure to Peruvian culture and important historical sights - all 31 hours in 3 days!!! Condor Travel in Peru took care of us every step of the way. Every person we came across was very courteous, willing, and helpful. Help was always there and questions answered quickly via Whatsapp. All in all a great and positive experience we would highly recommend.KM

I want to personally thank my Travel Agent Alice Teramoto who organized two spectacular trips for me! One to Australia and most recently Vietnam and Cambodia. She nailed it! I can’t express my gratitude enough! Both trips were flawless and hassle free! Every experience exceeded my expectations! I spent my 60th Birthday in Vietnam on the Lunar New Year which was a complete thrill! I highly recommend Alice and will definitely book with her again soon! Thanks so much Alice ♥️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻Avril

Mary G. was an absolute pleasure to work with. I partner with Goway often for Europe and typically have my go to rep, so stepping outside of that for a New Zealand itinerary had me a little unsure at first. That hesitation quickly disappeared. Mary stepped in with confidence, handled all of my moving pieces with ease, and truly understood the level of detail I needed to take care of my clients. She delivered a beautifully curated itinerary that exceeded expectations, and most importantly, my clients had an incredible experience in New Zealand. I’m so grateful to have her as a resource and look forward to working together again.Nichole Pierce
