Days 1-3 Beijing
Modern high-rise buildings tower over buzzing busy streets - a dramatic contrast to the timeless wonder of Beijing's ancient sites. There is plenty of time to explore this amazing metropolis, from the Forbidden City and Summer Palace to backstreet hutongs packed with tiny local shops and eateries.
Days 4-5 Great Wall
Travel to a lesser-known section of the Great Wall. Take a long walk over steep, remote terrain taking in incredible views of the countryside.Rise early the next morning to catch a moody sunrise then return to Beijing and jump on board an overnight train bound for Xi'an.
Days 6-8 Xi'an
Formerly one of China's imperial capitals, there is much to see in Xi'an. Cycle around the Ming dynasty city walls, admire the Great Mosque or meet local Hui people in the Muslim Quarter. Don't miss the famed 2,200-year-old Terracotta Warriors - eternally vigilant in guarding the tomb of China's First Emperor, the warriors are positioned in strict accordance with an ancient text on the art of war.
Days 9-11 Shanghai
Hunt for a bargain in the bustling Yuyuan Bazaar or shop up a storm in China's hippest stores. Gobble Shanghai's favourite dumpling, xioalongbao - but do so with caution; these molten morsels easily scald over-eager eaters. Perhaps catch an evening performance by the famous Shanghai acrobats.
Days 12-15 Yangshuo
Dramatic limestone peaks and lush surrounds characterise the unforgettable Guangxi region. Perhaps take it all in on a cycling adventure along picturesque country lanes or wander the backstreets to discover hole-in-the-wall restaurants and small markets. Be sure to try the local freshwater seafood.
Days 16-18 Longji Terraces
Hike through the magnificent Longji rice terraces that cling precariously to the side of steep mountains. Stay with locals in a hillside village and take day treks to visit other communities throughout the area - a great way to see the extensive rice terraces.
Days 19-20 Hong Kong
Get ready for some fast-paced action in Hong Kong. Take the funicular to Victoria Peak or enjoy a harbour cruise. Satisfy those shopping urges at the Stanley Market or join the throngs on Nathan Road. Why not celebrate the end of this China jaunt with a tasty dim sum feast?
