Peak season notice: Golden Week falls between October 1st and 7th each year. Please note that Golden Week is a semi-annual 7-day or 8-day national holiday for the people of China. This is a very busy time of the year for domestic tourists, so expect some crowding at major attractions. We recommend booking these dates well in advance as accommodations and transportation availability is extremely limited.
Short on time? Not to worry! This 7 day trip through China will show you the best of the best without taking too much time. Visit the must see spots like the Great Wall and the Terracotta Warriors. In Chengdu, no one can resist being charmed at the Giant Panda Breeding Center. This is a jam packed epic week in China and a must for any adventure traveller.
