A Multi-Generational Journey Across China’s Regions
China
(Jade Dragon Snow Mountain near Lijiang)
China invites travelers to explore with curiosity and perspective — revealing history, culture and landscapes that feel both immersive and deeply memorable for families traveling together. From the imperial courtyards of Beijing to the cosmopolitan energy of Shanghai and the tea hills and temples surrounding Hangzhou, each region offers a different perspective on the country’s past and present. Traveling further west, the journey continues through Xi’an’s ancient capital and into the mountain landscapes of Yunnan, where historic towns and minority cultures reveal a quieter side of China.
Designed with multi-generational travelers in mind, the journey balances cultural discovery with thoughtful pacing and seamless coordination. Private guides accompany families throughout the experience, bringing historic sites to life while allowing each day to remain flexible and engaging for travelers of all ages. Carefully chosen stays place travelers within the cultural heart of each destination — whether waking beside the gardens of the Summer Palace at the Summer Palace Hotel in Beijing, wandering the restored village courtyards of Amanfayun in Hangzhou, or overlooking the tiled rooftops of Lijiang’s ancient town from Amandayan in Yunnan.

Along the way, smaller moments bring the journey to life. In Beijing, mornings may begin with a quiet rickshaw ride through the city’s historic hutongs before the streets grow busy. In Yunnan, travelers might spend time learning tai chi with a local master in a peaceful courtyard framed by mountain air and centuries-old architecture.
Other touches add a sense of ease and delight — whether arranging for a handcrafted Terracotta Warrior replica to be carefully packed and shipped home from Xi’an, or arriving in Shanghai to a seamless airport welcome and Rolls-Royce transfer to The Peninsula Shanghai overlooking the historic Bund.
