Below are several easy steps for planning a first China tour. Decide How Many Days to Stay We suggest you take at least a week for your first trip to see the highlights in the top three cities: Beijing (3–4 days), Xi’an (2 days), and Shanghai (1–2 days). To discover more of China like charming Guilin and lovely Chengdu pandas, you would need a few more days. Consider When to Travel to China Things to do in Beijing, Xi’an, and Shanghai are seldom affected by the seasons. Spring (April–May) and autumn (September–October) are generally the most comfortable and recommended times for a China tour. They are neither too hot nor too cold, but fall is generally drier and warmer than spring. A more ideal travel time for you could be March and early April or September when there are smaller crowds, favorable prices, and still good weather. China is a good summer holiday destination too. Consider Your Budget The biggest cost could be international airfares. The cost of airfares from the US or Europe to China varies a lot depending on when you fly and which airline you use, from around US$1,200 to US$3,000 for an economy round trip. The biggest price difference between the off and peak seasons is in the price of hotels and airfares. Prices in peak seasons can go up by 50 to 100%. For a private tour, the average cost per day is about US$220–350 per person, including flights/trains within China, 4- or 5-star hotels, lunches, attractions, guides, and private transport. We Believe Private and Tailor-Made Tours Are Best With our private tours, you would have much more personal choice in how your tour goes. You could have more hand-picked and interactive experiences, like visiting a local family with your own local guide. With
