Places You’ll See
Highlights
- Embrace a slower pace on a private boat tour of the Mekong Delta and meet local craftspeople in the villages that line the river's waterways.
- Spend a night on a traditional junk boat in Halong Bay – one of Vietnam’s natural wonders and a UNESCO World Heritage site. In your free time, maybe go kayaking between the karsts for a different perspective.
- Hike through Sapa’s famous rice terraces and meet the Hmong people along the way. See the dramatic Tiger Leaping Gorge, where the Jinsha River roars at the bottom, surrounded by snowcapped mountains.
- Visit the historic towns of Lijiang and Baisha. Once the key stops on the Tea Horse Road, here you'll try your hand at writing ancient Dongba characters with a Naxi family.
- Ride a high-speed train to Shangri-La City. Explore the halls, murals and gardens of Ganden Sumtseling Monastery, then learn how to make yak butter tea with a Tibetan family in their home.

Customer Reviews
- Kelvin· September 21st, 2025Just returned home from this tour and it was fantastic! Our tour guide, Samantha Li was exceptional - she was kind, thoughtful and engaging, sharing lots of information about the places we visited and giving us great recommendations. This was our first trip with Intrepid but it definitely won’t be our last! We were with a great group of fellow travellers from around the world and really enjoyed zipping around China with this group. There were a couple of hiccups during the trip but Samantha dealt with these aptly and made the experience stress free for us. The highlight for us was seeing the sunrise over the Great Wall and some of the lovely group meals Intrepid arranged.Show more
- John· June 29th, 2025Well organised, got to see and do lots in a short period of timeShow more
- Helen· May 8th, 2025China Highlights was the most amazing, memorable experience ever! Our guide, Lomg was the best. His knowledge, patience, passion and support showed no bounds. Thank you Lomg. What I will say is that this Tour is 'full on'. There were days when we didn't have time to eat anywhere and had to buy our breakfast, lunch and snacks the night before for travelling during the day. It was definitely pretty exhausting but so worth it to be able to see all the magnificent sights in Shanghai, X'ian and Beijing in such a short space of time. Highly recommend this tour.Show more
