This 10-day journey links Shanghai, Beijing, Xi'an and Chengdu with a focus on regional food and major sights. It combines guided visits, cooking experiences, rail travel and time to explore each city at an easy pace. In Shanghai, join a dumpling cooking class and make xiao long bao. In Beijing, visit Tian'anmen Square, the Forbidden City and the Mutianyu section of the Great Wall, then try Peking duck. Xi'an brings the Terracotta Army and the Muslim Quarter, while Chengdu adds Sichuan cooking, a visit to the Giant Panda Breeding Research Base and a hot pot meal. The trip uses a mix of hotel stays, overnight rail and high-speed trains. It suits travellers who want a small-group format with the option to book privately.
