Audley Travel, a bespoke travel specialist, has announced the relaunch of its China tours for U.S. clients. The move allows travelers to explore China's diverse offerings, including 59 UNESCO World Heritage sites, modern cities and natural wonders.
Clients can now book trips that include iconic highlights such as the Great Wall, the Terracotta Warriors and the Forbidden City. Travelers who visit now have the opportunity for a more exclusive experience, before international crowds return to China in full force.
"The timing of this launch represents an exciting opportunity to explore such a diverse destination before the international crowds return, making for a more exclusive experience for travelers who visit soon — as well as being great value (especially outside of Beijing and Shanghai)," said David Peat, regional product manager at Audley Travel.
Audley Travel's China offerings include customizable itineraries tailored to clients' preferences. Example tours include:
1. Essential China: A custom, eight-day trip covering Beijing, Xian and Shanghai, featuring visits to the Great Wall, the Forbidden City, the Terracotta Warriors and the Bund. Packages can include high-speed train travel, a cycling tour through Beijing's Hutongs, exploration of Xian's Muslim Quarter and more.
2. Sichuan and Yunnan Explorer: A custom, 14-day journey through Chengdu, Emei Mountain, Dali, Lijiang and Shangri-La. Highlights may include visiting the Chengdu Panda Research Base, seeing the Giant Buddha of Leshan, experiencing the diverse cultures of the Yunnan Province and more.
"China has an excellent and reliable transport infrastructure thanks to its high-speed trains, as well as excellent guides who help clients navigate the country — making it the ideal choice for adventurous travelers looking for something different for their 2025 vacation," Peat said.
