Audley Travel has reintroduced China as a destination for its US clients, offering bespoke experiences from modern urban centers to UNESCO World Heritage sites. The country’s efficient transportation system and opportunities for giant panda observation are among the highlights of this diverse destination.

“The timing of this launch represents an exciting opportunity to explore such a diverse destination before the international crowds return, making for a more exclusive experience for travelers who visit soon—as well as being great value (especially outside of Beijing and Shanghai),” said David Peat, Regional Product Manager at Audley Travel. “China has an excellent and reliable transport infrastructure thanks to its high speed trains, as well as excellent guides who help clients navigate the country – making it the ideal choice for adventurous travelers looking for something different for their 2025 vacation.”

You can now book your clients on trips to explore China’s renowned attractions, including the Great Wall, the Terracotta Warriors and the Forbidden City. Audley Travel’s approach focuses on creating unique experiences tailored to clients’ preferences and budgets.

The company offers several itineraries to illustrate potential travel options. The Essential China trip, an 8-day journey, covers key destinations such as Beijing, Xian and Shanghai. This package includes domestic flights, train tickets, private transfers, accommodations and guided excursions.

During this trip, travelers can experience China’s high-speed rail network and Shanghai’s magnetic levitation train. The itinerary also features a cycling tour through Beijing’s traditional hutongs and an exploration of Xian’s Muslim Quarter and Grand Mosque.

For those seeking a more extensive experience, the Sichuan and Yunnan Explorer offers a 14-day journey. This trip encompasses stays in Chengdu, Emei Mountain, Dali, Lijiang and Shangri-La, providing a comprehensive view of southwestern China’s natural and cultural landscapes.

This itinerary highlights include visiting the Chengdu Panda Research Base, where travelers can observe giant pandas in a conservation setting. The trip also features the Giant Buddha of Leshan and an ascent of Emei Mountain. In Yunnan Province, your clients will have the chance to interact with various ethnic minority groups and explore the historic towns of Dali and Lijiang.

The journey concludes in Shangri-La, where visitors can experience Tibetan culture and scenic beauty. Like the Essential China trip, this package includes domestic flights, private transfers, accommodations, and guided excursions.
