Tour In Luxury
China is one of the top places to go on a luxury holiday. The quality of accommodation and level of service is superb, and as one of the oldest countries in the world, China has numerous historical and architectural sights of interest. These five activities and sights are some of the best in China for luxury tours.
The Great Wall of China
One of China’s top attractions and often used as a symbol for the country itself, the Great Wall is something that is not to be missed. There are many luxury tours that leave from Beijing to various parts of the Great Wall, including the popular but crowded Badaling section, and the less crowded but unrestored Simatai section. Perhaps the most luxurious way to see the Great Wall of China is to have a private tour. A driver can take you and your group in a luxury vehicle to your preferred section of the wall, and then act as your private guide while there.
Terracotta Army
Located in Xi’an, just a short flight from Beijing, this city is famous for its Terracotta Army. More than 8,000 soldiers, each dressed in different armour, can be found here. While smaller than cities like Beijing and Shanghai, Xi’an has luxury hotels, spas, and top restaurants where you can spoil yourself.
Forbidden City and the Summer Palace
As one of the top attractions in Beijing, the Forbidden City is close to numerous luxury hotels, spas, high-end shopping, and five-star dining. The Forbidden City is hugely popular for its historical and architectural significance, as it was once the Chinese Imperial Palace for nearly 500 years. Many luxury tours also visit the Summer Palace. Located in northwest Beijing, the Summer Palace is an oasis of relaxation and calm in the bustling metropolis.
Yangtze River Cruise
Cruise down the Yangtze River and take in some of China’s most gorgeous and breathtaking scenery, all the while relaxing onboard in comfort and luxury. Popular sights, such as the famous Three Gorges, the Three Gorges Dam, the Shennong Stream, and the city of Fengdu all offer an unforgettable experience.
High Tea in Shanghai
As China’s largest city, Shanghai is known for its glitz, glamour and love for all things luxury. While there are many things to see and experience while in Shanghai, perhaps one of the best is high tea. Many of Shanghai’s most luxurious hotels offer an unforgettable high tea. Some hotels stick to the traditional scones and cucumber sandwiches, while other hotels offer a Chinese twist on the offerings. Regardless of where you go, you’re sure to have an afternoon of luxury.
