17D16N · Group Tours · Best of China in Small Group: Kung Fu Pandas, Scenic Wonders & Imperial Icons

The value for money is incredible given how much is included: flights, bullet trains, most meals, and top-tier hotels. The Great Wall at Mutianyu was less crowded than I feared, and the cable car up was a bonus. Our group bonded well, and the guide even arranged a birthday cake for one member. A memorable trip.
