The adventure

When people think of China, they picture massive, lit-up cities with delicious food. And while that's spot on, there's a whole other side to China we can't wait to show you. Kick things off in Chengdu, one of those huge, bright cities we mentioned. Then, venture into the less-traveled parts of China, like the stunning mountains of Yangshuo and the historic Hakka Houses in Yongding. Wrap it all up in one of the most unique cities in all of China. Now, that’s an epic adventure waiting to happen.

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!

We'll ditch the big city this morning and head to the mountains today. A late morning bullet train brings us to the city of Yangshuo. After we arrive, we'll take an orientation walk of this picturesque, riverside city.

Today we'll hop on a bike and explore the countryside of Yangshuo. Ride along the river, travel through a local village and stop for lunch at a local restaurant, all while taking in the incredible mountains surrounding the area. In the afternoon, head back to the city and enjoy a free evening.

The next two nights are a special opportunity to stay in the extremely unique homes of the Hakka People. We'll stay in Hakka Tulou, ancient fortified buildings. Some can be 5 stories tall and some can be dated back to the 12th century. Travel back to the past as we explore this super off the beaten path part of China.
