Journeys
Two weeks turns the Triangle into a grand tour: everything in the 7-day classic, then south-west to pandas and the ¥20-note river, with a wildcard to make it yours.
Run the classic's first six days at breathing pace — add the Summer Palace, a hutong food crawl, Xi'an's museum morning.

Full guide →Fly south: Li River cruise or raft, Yangshuo cycling between the peaks, Xianggong-hill sunrise — the landscape China paints.
Full guide →Fly to Shanghai for the Bund crescendo, museum morning and maglev exit — ending with the country's newest face.
Full guide →Trade Guilin for Zhangjiajie's pillars, Chengdu for Yunnan's Dali–Lijiang, or insert Huangshan + Hongcun between the coasts — the skeleton accepts any one transplant.
