China in 7 Days — a free guide for first-time visitors
The route we give most people who have about a week, written down: Beijing, Xi’an and Shanghai day by day,
plus the practical things that decide whether the week feels easy or exhausting.
What is inside
Seven days, three cities, no guesswork
The route: three nights in Beijing, two in Xi’an, two in Shanghai — and why this triangle works.
Day by day: what to do in the morning, what to keep for the afternoon, and what to leave out.
The Great Wall: which section to book, and which one to avoid on a public holiday.
Before you fly: payments, staying connected, the apps worth installing, plugs and medicines.
The queues: timed tickets, passport checks and the buffer you need after landing.
What a private trip is made of: so you can judge any quotation you receive.

No prices in it — a week in China depends entirely on your dates, your hotels and
how many of you there are. Send us those and we will quote against them.
Questions before you decide? Ask us on WhatsApp.
A short chat often settles in a minute what a form takes a day to sort out —
whether your dates work, what the weather is really like, whether a place is worth the detour.
Write to us in English and we will come back to you. We reply to every inquiry within one business day.
