Itinerary

Day 1 – Xi'an – Chenlu Ancient Town – Hukou Waterfall

In the morning of day one of this tour, you will be collected from your hotel in Xi'an, with the pick up time confirmed in advance by the guide. Leave the bustle of big city Xi'an and relax on the five hour drive to Yichuan Hukou Waterfall. On route, there will be time for a short stop at Chenlu Ancient Town, known since the Ming Dynasty for its pottery. Observe local artisans – all of whom are residents in the town – attend to their craft with the same care and intention practised by their forebears.

From here, the drive continues to Yichuan, where the spectacular Hukou Waterfall is found. Be amazed by the size, sight and colour of this naturally spectacular – and the largest yellow waterfall in the world. Your guide will assist with check to the hotel in close proximity to the Hukou Waterfall Scenic Spot, and then it’s time to take in the waterfall itself. Should you be traveling during the winter months, expect a sight that makes the waterfall even more extraordinary. Frozen water tumbling down the rocks creates an unusual natural phenomenon. The magnificent views mean that photo opportunities abound. You will be returned to your hotel to relax for the evening.

Meals included: None

Note: While no meals are included in today’s itinerary, your guide is always available to assist with identifying suitable local dining options, including ordering meals, if required.

Day 2 – Yan’an – Xi'an

After breakfast in the morning, you will be greeted by your guide. The day’s exploring commences with a visit to the headquarters of the Chinese revolution in Yan’an, considered to be the birthplace of Chinese communism and modern China. A stop at both the Zaoyuan and Yangjialing Revolution Headquarters provides insights to China’s modern history as it emerged through the Communist Revolution.

From here, you’ll have the chance to experience daily life for a typical local Chinese family. Enjoy local food and customs with the family as you are served in the unusual architecture provided by the ancient caves. Reflect on this unique adventure before taking the bullet train for the two and a half hour return trip to Xi'an. On arrival in Xi'an, a guide will drive you to your hotel.

Tripadvisor score Great tour with Linda in Beijing

June 2025 • Friends

This is our second tour with China tours, and it was fantastic. Linda was our guide in Beijing. She was great! She was very knowledgeable about history and culture and a very kind person. Our group was a mix of young and old, and she made our days in Beijing interesting for everyone. We highly recommend Linda and China tours!

Tripadvisor score 100% fabulous experience

June 2025 • Family

The trip with China Tours was 100% fabulous. Everything about it was exactly as described. The tour guides were all wonderful, the hotels, and transfers (two bullet trains, two domestic flights) were amazing, everything went exactly as planned, and we had a great first trip to China. We did the 13 Days China Wonders & Pandas tour in June 2025. The balance was perfect between sightseeing with the guides and having free time to explore this amazing country at each destination. The high quality of the five guides along the way really made the trip. They were wonderful people without exception: professional, courteous, very knowledgeable, and friendly. The team at China Tours did truly great work in arranging everything, down to the last detail. Thank you very much for making this trip a really great experience!

Tripadvisor score The only way to visit China!

June 2025 • Couples

This is a fantastic tour. The tour guides are amazing- so knowledgeable and extremely helpful. The experience of visiting the historic sites has been made far richer than it would’ve been on our own. We have left China with a greater understanding of Chinese history, culture and its people.

Tripadvisor score A Magical Experience

May 2025 • Couples

From the moment we were met at Beijing airport , until our last day in Shanghai , the service and attention to detail by the guides and drivers, was second to none! We opted for the ten day tour, to take advantage of the Chinese government 240 hour visa free TRANSIT permit , which was easily granted on arrival! ( arrival STARTS at midnight after you arrive! ) The vehicles and hotels were of the absolute best quality , and the whole trip was a joy! As every attraction has to be booked in advance , I certainly would not contemplate trying to organise such a trip independently ; and don`t even attempt to DRIVE in China!! At each stop , the knowledgeable guides would organise everything , and then ten minutes before departure ,would telephone the drivers , who would be waiting for us. Every attraction was well ordered and a real pleasure to visit. The standards of comfort EVERYWHERE were excellent! Thoroughly recommend!
