Begin your Shanghai city tour from the New Shanghai Natural History Museum, where you will marvel at the 10,000 specimens from every corner of the Earth, followed by a visit to the Yu Garden - one of the most lavish and finest Chinese gardens. Continue to the nearby Yuyuan Market to immerse yourself in the local atmosphere there. After that, get a splendid city vista on the 100th floor of the Shanghai World Financial Center. Later, have a stop at the Jiangnan Silk Workshop to know more about silk culture in China. End today's tour with a leisure stroll on the Bund.
If you are interested, the breath-taking Acrobatic Show will be highly recommended to you for tonight.
After breakfast, you will visit historic Zhujiajiao Water Town (50 minutes' drive from Shanghai). At Zhujiajiao, you will walk through the Fangsheng Bridge, the Beida Street, and the Kezhi Garden. You will feel as though you have stepped back in time. After your trip to this beautiful village, you will be driven to the airport for your flight to Chengdu.

Upon your arrival in Xi'an, be met and escorted to visit Tang Bo Art Museum and then attend the calligraphy class there.
Today, you will visit the incredible life-size Terracotta Warriors. You will see an amazing scene that the “army” is made up of more than 8,000 figures including soldiers, horses, chariots, bowmen and archers. The figures are life-sized, and each has a unique face and details. After that, visit Xi'an Art Ceramics Factory to learn how these warriors were made in the past. Later, you will visit the Ancient City Wall with a cycling tour and taste some local snacks in Muslim Street.
Today, you will have a chance to visit a local family's home and learn how to make dumplings, stretch noodles, and homely dishes. If time permits, you can go to a local market with the host, and also visit the local Mahjong House to feel the Chinese leisure life. After lunch, your guide will escort you to the airport for your flight to Beijing. Upon your arrival at Beijing airport, be met and transferred to your hotel.
Today, you will visit the lofty Tiananmen Square followed by the magnificent Forbidden City - the world's largest palace complex with 9,999 buildings across 74 hectares filled with palaces, gardens and seemingly never-ending grand courtyards. Continue to admire the incredible Temple of Heaven this afternoon.
Tonight, the eye-popping stunts at the Legend of Kung Fu Show at Red Theater will be sure to thrill your journey.
This morning, you will come across the old Bejing by entering into the hutongs, where you will have a leisurely walk and get an insight into the local Beijingers’ daily life. Try your hands at painting a facial make-up of Peking Opera on a paper model and meet a local cricket trainer to learn their stories about the cricket fighting. After that, visit the Confucian Temple and the Guozijian before heading for the Summer Palace (including 15-minute boat ride) and a pearl store.

A la carte meal will give you an opportunity to eat at local restaurant, follow local customs, and taste local dishes. The a la carte allowance would be adequate for a decent meal in our recommended local restaurants, but varies from different restaurants and different cities.
