Fabulous trip
We did the 14 day Beijing to China trip. It was an absolutely fabulous trip from the minute we arrived we were really looked after after by great guides, First in Beijing by Kitty, then Carol Chen in X'ian. Kevin in Chengdu, and Sophie Lee in Shanghai, they all spoke great English, where very knowledgeable on their area and went out of their way to make a memorable experience for us all. The choice of hotels and locations were perfect, the 3 day Cruise down the Yantzee is a must (but upgrade your allocated restaurant to VIP it's not expensive but it is quieter than the main one). I would especially like to thank Sophie Lee for assisting us with a problem in Shanghai that she took onboard and sorted for us. Would really recommend this tour and TravelChinaGuide

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
China Trip to Beijing, Xi'an, Chengdu, Shanghai & Yangtze Cruise: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Beijing.
How much does China Trip to Beijing, Xi'an, Chengdu, Shanghai & Yangtze Cruise cost?
+
Prices start at $3,459 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Beijing usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does China Trip to Beijing, Xi'an, Chengdu, Shanghai & Yangtze Cruise take?
+
Plan for about 312 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Beijing is not rushed.
Is China Trip to Beijing, Xi'an, Chengdu, Shanghai & Yangtze Cruise worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 53 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 3 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable outdoors in Beijing, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule China Trip to Beijing, Xi'an, Chengdu, Shanghai & Yangtze Cruise?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is China Trip to Beijing, Xi'an, Chengdu, Shanghai & Yangtze Cruise suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 312-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book China Trip to Beijing, Xi'an, Chengdu, Shanghai & Yangtze Cruise?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Beijing can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Beijing and add a light layer if any part of the 312-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does China Trip to Beijing, Xi'an, Chengdu, Shanghai & Yangtze Cruise start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Beijing within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Beijing?
+
On Outty we rank every Beijing experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Temple Heaven, Lama Temple, Summer Palace & Peking Duck Bus Tour, Beijing Mutianyu Great Wall Sightseeing Full-day Group Tours, Mubus: Mutianyu Great Wall Bus Tour with Summer Palace Options. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Beijing?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Beijing?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in China Trip to Beijing, Xi'an, Chengdu, Shanghai & Yangtze Cruise?

Not included: Gratuities to guides and drivers (recommended); China visa fees; International airfares; and Personal expenses. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

+

+
