Your journey begins with a VIP meeting and check-in at the legendary The Peninsula Beijing hotel in a Wangfujing Suite. Restore your strength in the spa center or enjoy a traditional afternoon tea accompanied by live music in the very heart of the capital.
Take a stroll through the majestic Tiananmen Square and peek into the closed pavilions of the Imperial Palace, which are inaccessible to the average tourist. After meeting the charming pandas, a gastronomic show awaits you — a dinner featuring the famous Peking Duck.
Spend an unforgettable time contemplating the monumental cliffs of the Xiling, Wu, and Qutang Gorges directly from the board of the five-star liner. A rich excursion program on shore and premium service will transform the river crossing into an aesthetic delight.
Head to the picturesque Mutianyu section, where the battlements of the Great Wall are nestled in the thick greenery of the forests. Ascending by cable car, you will enjoy panoramic views and then experience an authentic farm lunch in a cozy mountain restaurant.
After a flight to Yichang, you will board the most exclusive liner on the river — the Yangzi Explorer. Your luxurious Imperial Suite with a private terrace will be the perfect place to watch as the ship sails deep into the legendary Three Gorges.
After saying goodbye to the Yangtze, you will take a flight to Shanghai, where the legendary The Peninsula Shanghai hotel on the Bund awaits you. Immerse yourself in the atmosphere of luxury Art Deco in a Grand Deluxe room with a view of the historical center of the metropolis.
Discover the classical aesthetics of China in the Yu Garden — a masterpiece of 16th-century landscape art. The day will conclude with a visit to the Jade Buddha, whose tranquility contrasts with the energetic rhythm of modern Shanghai.
Dedicate the morning to shopping on Nanjing Road or visiting museums, and in the evening, prepare for an incredible sight — the high-tech ERA show. Breathtaking acrobatics and multimedia sets will reveal the history of China to you in a new light.
Transport yourself to the past while walking across the arched bridges of an ancient water town that is more than 1700 years old. A boat trip along narrow canals and the silence of private gardens will be the perfect and peaceful finale to your excursion program.
Your grand tour concludes with a comfortable transfer in a Mercedes V-Class to Pudong Airport. Over breakfast at the Peninsula, you will be able to reminisce about the best moments: from the grandeur of the Great Wall to the lights of modern Shanghai.
