China Tours with a Yangtze Cruise

Itineraries built around Chongqing and the Three Gorges — most include a three-night cruise between Chongqing and Yichang, and a few swap the ship for Dazu or Wulong day trips. Flights, trains, guides and hotels are all in one plan.

Beyond the classics

Themed & Regional Journeys

Longer routes and regional escapes — Guilin's karst peaks, the canal towns of Hangzhou and Suzhou, Zhangjiajie's stone pillars, and value-minded highlights runs between Shanghai and Beijing.

City by city

In-Depth City Tours

Short private and mini-group tours that go deep in one city — ideal before or after a longer route, or as a stand-alone city break.
