 Exotic Holidays is offering a 10-day Splendid China by Rail itinerary, beginning in Beijing with visits to Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City, and the Temple of Heaven, and continuing to the Great Wall and the Summer Palace.

Clients then travel by bullet train to Xi’an, the ancient capital and gateway to the Silk Road, where they explore its city walls, Xi’an Museum, and atmospheric Muslim Quarter. The highlight is the world-famous Terracotta Warriors.

Next is Hangzhou, known for the beauty of West Lake, traditional tea culture, and historic Hefang Street. Travellers visit the Six Harmonies Pagoda and Meijiawu Tea Village before continuing by high-speed train to Suzhou, with its classical gardens and centuries-old silk traditions. 

The journey concludes in Shanghai, where historic neighbourhoods meet a modern skyline. Highlights include the Old Downtown, graceful Yu Garden, and the collections of the Shanghai Museum as well as the Bund.

It’s priced from $5,106 per person twin share. info@exotic.net.nz
