Route rationale

The essential China circuit with room for each chapter.

This route is for groups with enough time to move through China’s best-known history, food, landscape and city experiences without turning the program into daily airport transfers.

The two landscape regions and three domestic sectors determine the final sequence. Each needs a protected arrival day and realistic weather or access contingency.
