Our destinations

A country best understood city by city.

China is a continent, not a country. We concentrate on the nine cities that reveal it best — each one a world of its own, each one linked by high-speed rail and woven into a single seamless journey.

One country, one journey

Nine cities, connected like a kite.

Our nine cities trace a kite across the map of China — a diamond frame, crossed spars and a trailing tail. Fly the whole shape on one grand tour, or take a shorter line through the cities that call to you.
