Average time to visit

The weather in China has four distinct seasons - a pleasant warm spring, a hot rainy summer, a comfortable cool autumn and a cold winter. The hottest time in China comes in July and August, with more than 10 days at temperatures above 35 C. The coldest time is from the late January to early February. The spring from March to May is recommended as the best time to travel to China. Summer which also sees heavy rainstorms late in the season is surprisingly the peak season.

Itinerary

Fly to Shanghai
Day 1-4

Shanghai

You will start your honeymoon in one of China's most cosmopolitan cities, Shanghai. This buzzing metropolis is bursting at the seams with fantastic restaurants and beautiful boutique shops and cafes. Spend your days exploring the historical Bund and French Quarter and nights indulging your taste buds at some of the best restaurants in Asia, or sipping cocktails overlooking the bright lights of Shanghai at some of the most happening sky bars. We have included three days for you here and alongside your Shanghai exploring, with your private guide, we have included a day trip out to the beautiful town of Tongli. One of the oldest in the region and known as the ‘Venice of the China’ Tongli is full of romantic canals and beautiful bridges to explore.

Accommodation: The PuLi Hotel and Spa ( 3 nights )
Day 4-7

Beijing

After three nights in Shanghai, you’ll take a direct flight to Beijing. Beijing is home to some of the world's most amazing cultural sites including The Great Wall, Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City to name a few. On top of this there are definitely some more cool and quirky areas as well which are fantastic to explore such as the 798 District which is more Bohemian and full of artists' studios. As a couple, also take the chance to visit the Temple of Heaven where you can watch young couples posing for their own wedding photos as you relive your own special day. Like in Shanghai you'll have three nights in Beijing and we have included a private guide and driver for you here to make the most of its amazing, historical sites.

Accommodation: The Opposite House ( 3 nights )
Day 7-9

Lijiang

For a quieter and slower pace, you’ll visit Lijiang next again reachable by a direct flight from Beijing. This is a beautiful and picturesque area of China and provides a wonderful contrast to the busy streets of Shanghai and Beijing. With your private guide, spend your days exploring the charming city of Lijiang and enjoying hiking, walking or horseback riding through the dramatic surrounding landscapes.

Accommodation: Intercontinental Lijiang Ancient Town Resort ( 2 nights )
Day 9-12

Yangshuo

Your next stop will be equally dramatic in the exotic town of Yanghsuo which is completely outstanding. From Lijiang to Guilin it is a fairly short flight of just over an hour and a half. Your guide and driver will meet you at the airport and transfer you just over an hour to Yangshuo. During your time here you’ll be able to take one of the most beautiful journeys in China with a bamboo raft cruise along the Yulong River, take part in a cooking class including a visit to the local market with your chef and a cycling trip through the spectacular countryside surrounded by the karst peaks. As a finale in the area, we have included tickets to the ‘Impressions Liu Sanjie’ show. Taking place on water in a naturally formed amphitheatre out of the limestone karts this is a mesmerising experience.

Accommodation: Banyan Tree Yangshuo ( 3 nights )
Day 12-14

Hong Kong

The final stop on the adventure will be Hong Kong which has an electric, fun and buzzy atmosphere, providing the perfect way to end your trip. From Yangshuo, you’ll transfer back to Guilin and then take a direct flight into Hong Kong. With so many amazing restaurants, brilliant cocktail bars and plenty to keep you entertained it is the perfect end to your trip. If you are looking for some downtime at the of the trip, we definitely suggest visiting Cheung Sha, the longest beaches in Hong Kong and a great spot to enjoy lunch in one of the local restaurants.

Accommodation: The Upper House ( 2 nights )
