For first-time visitors to China (we suggest 8-13 days) - Consider China's Golden Triangle (Beijing, Shanghai, and Xi'an) or add scenic explorations in Guilin/Yangshuo, along the Yangtze River, or to Zhangjiajie Avatar mountains.
Focus on Iconic Symbols (add 2-4 more days) - Theme your trip around the cute pandas in Chengdu, the classical Suzhou Gardens, amazing Yellow Mountain, or Hangzhou's picturesque West Lake.
Explore Regional Highlights (you'd better plan for 10-21 days) - From Beijing, you can embark on an adventure along the legendary Silk Road (
Gansu/Xinjiang) or journey to the "Roof of the World" - from Beijing to Lhasa, to Mount Everest, and even connect to Nepal and
