Itinerary

Welcome to China! Arrive at any time, then meet your CEO and group in the evening for a Welcome Meeting & Orientation walk. Afterwards, join your crew for your First Night Out in the vibrant city of Chengdu! Stay: Poshpacker Local Tea Hostel

This morning, opt to visit the Giant Panda Breeding Center with your CEO or explore Chengdu on your own. In the afternoon, we'll take the bullet train to Chongqing. Join your CEO for an orientation walk to get your bearings then enjoy a free evening. Stay: Green Oriental Hotel Jiefangbei Qixinggang Branch

Hop on a public bus or metro with your CEO and visit Ciqikou Old town, where bamboo and wood frames still make up the foundation of most architecture as it did 1000 years ago. Then head to downtown Chongqing for a walking tour of the city, visiting spots like Chao Tian Men Square and Liberation Monument. Once it's dark, get a view of Hongyadong, an 11-story 2000 year old military base turned commercial center. Stay: Green Oriental Hotel Jiefangbei Qixinggang Branch

Rise with the sun to get a morning train to Zhangjiajie, home to one of China's most impressive natural landscapes. This is a longer travel day so make sure to have some entertainment ready for the train ride. In the afternoon, arrive to Zhangjiajie and take an orientation walk of the city. Stay: Yuzun Hotel Zhangjiajie

Prepare to feel like you've been transported to the world of Pandora from Avatar. After a short shuttle ride, we'll hike through the Zhangjiajie National Forest Park to view the Tianzi Mountain and Pillar of the Southern Sky. Take it all in before taking hiking back or opt to ride the 1070 ft elevator back down to the base of the forest. Stay: Yuzun Hotel Zhangjiajie

Today is a free day to spend it how you'd like. Choose to tour other parts of Zhangjiajie National Forest Park because your entry ticket is valid for two full days of exploration. Opt to take a day trip to Tianmen Shan National Park or explore the beautiful city of Zhangjiajie. Stay: Yuzun Hotel Zhangjiajie

Catch the early morning bullet train to Guilin before climbing into a bus to Yangshuo. After checking into the hotel, take an orientation walk of the city and enjoy a free night out. Stay: Floral Hotel Memorize Scene (Baina Hotel)

Pedal around the city and into the countryside this morning on a guided tour of Yangshuo. Bike along rivers, through local villages and near stunning karst formations. Opt for a short hike up Moon hill, then bike back and enjoy lunch together as a group. Spend the afternoon how'd like in Yangshuo. Tonight, join your crew for a big night out! Grab yourself a drink, maybe a beer, maybe an oolong tea and hit the town together! Stay: Floral Hotel Memorize Scene (Baina Hotel) (L)

A free day in Yangshuo means you can spend it how you'd like. There is so much to do in this amazing city. Opt to visit the Xianggongshan & Tea Farm or go to the Impressions Liu Sanjie light show. How about a Tai Chi or Kung Fu class? Even a cooking class! The options are endless. Then in the evening, join your group and CEO for your Big Night Out!

It may be our last day together but we still have an adventure. This morning we take the bullet train to Hong Kong. Spend the last few hours together with your new friends. Your trip finishes upon arrival in Hong Kong.
