China Tour Packages
Guided trips to the Great Wall, the Terracotta Army, Shanghai, Guilin and Chengdu — high-speed rail and every transfer handled. Run by an operator with deep China roots since 2008.
Why a China tour, with us
China rewards a well-built trip like few places on earth — but it's vast, and the distances, the language, and the logistics are exactly where independent travellers lose days. A guided package turns five thousand years of history and a continent of landscapes into a route that actually flows: the Great Wall and the Forbidden City in Beijing, the Terracotta Army in Xi'an, Shanghai's skyline, the karst rivers of Guilin, and Chengdu's pandas — stitched together by high-speed rail and domestic flights you never have to figure out yourself.
EME was founded in 2008 by a Chinese operator, so China isn't a line we added — it's in our roots. Our China packages are guided, with city hotels, transfers, entrance fees and a day-by-day itinerary handled. You get a clear quote before you commit, and every route can be tailored to your dates, group size and interests.

Where a China tour takes you
Beijing
The imperial capital — the Great Wall on its doorstep, the Forbidden City at its heart, and hutong lanes that survive between the skyscrapers.
Xi'an
Start of the Silk Road and home to the Terracotta Army — thousands of life-size soldiers that stood guard underground for two thousand years.
Shanghai
China's most futuristic skyline rising across the river from the colonial Bund — the old world and the next one, face to face.
Guilin
The karst peaks and mirror-still Li River that fill Chinese scroll paintings — and the back of the ¥20 note.
Chengdu
Giant pandas, unhurried teahouses, and some of the boldest food in the country — the easygoing heart of Sichuan.
Hangzhou
West Lake, tea hills and willow causeways — the city Marco Polo called the finest in the world, an hour from Shanghai by high-speed rail.
China tour packages — FAQ
- Are EME's China tours guided?
- Yes. Every China package is a guided trip with English-speaking (and, on request, other-language) guides and a single point of contact, with high-speed rail and transfers handled between cities.
- How many days do you need for China?
- About 10–12 days covers the classic highlights — Beijing and the Great Wall, Xi'an's Terracotta Army, Shanghai, and a scenic stop like Guilin or Chengdu. Our China Discovery runs 11 days; routes can be shortened or extended.
- What's included in a China package tour?
- City hotels, domestic flights and high-speed rail between cities, private transfers, guiding, entrance fees on the itinerary, and a day-by-day plan. You receive a clear quote before committing, and extra cities or interests can be added.
- Do I need a visa for China?
- Most travellers need a visa for China, though transit and regional visa-free schemes change often. We advise you on the current requirements for your nationality and route, but please confirm with the nearest Chinese embassy before booking.
- Can the China itinerary be customised?
- Absolutely. Tell us your dates, group size and interests — history, food, landscapes, or a panda-focused trip for the family — and we'll tailor the route across China.
