How to plan a China nature tour?

There are many natural wonders with diverse landscapes and unique experience. Here are the best sites to go – Huangshan (mountain), Li River, Shangri-La, Mt. Everest, Stone Forest, West Lake, Jiuzhaigou, Mount Emei, Zhangjiajie.

Both cultural experience and natural sightseeing are very important, while our priority is to take you to explore the impressive natural sites, at the same time, visit some classic cultural attractions when you get to a destination. You can plan your trip by region. Sichuan region – Sichuan has three amazing natural sites – Giant Panda, Mount Emei and Jiuzhaigou. It is very easy to cover all of them in a single trip of 8 days. Tibet region is another recommended place to seek for the natural beauty. Its highlights are vast plateau landscape, pure lakes and snow mountains, such as Namtso Lake, Mount Everest. You also need 8 days to visit Tibetan landscape. You can also go to enjoy the amazing water town views in Suzhou and Hangzhou area. Close to this region situates the Huangshan Mountain which is a great place for hiking and natural exploring. Talking about nature, we can’t forget Yunnan. This wonderful land has spectacular landforms, stunning plateau scenery, such as Stone Forest in Kunming, Shangri-La in the northern Yunnan, Erhai Lake in Dali, Jade Dragon Mountain in Lijiang, etc. Maybe you were impressed by the incredible scene in the movie Avatar which was shot in Zhangjiajie. Not it’s time to discover the real Avatar. We also recommend Guilin which is known for having the finest scenery under heaven. Li River, countryside landscape, cycling, rafting…there are so many things to do in Guilin. And Guilin can be connected to other popular destinations in China easily. The last things to do for natural lover we recommend is the Yangtze river. Taking a Yangtze cruise, you not only get amazed by beautiful landscape along the river, but also enjoy relaxing onboard life. The cruise includes downstream and upstream routes with duration of 4 or 5 days.

Good morning, Tracy.

We have completed our travel in China. Thank you very much for arranging this wonderful tour for us.

You amended the itinerary 3 times according to our needs. One of the changes in the itinerary was your suggestion to add the Xingyi Fenglin Buyi Scenic Area which was an excellent recommendation. All of us enjoyed this beautiful environment, away from the hustle and bustle of the big city as well as away from the regular tourist crowds.

I understand that you wish me to provide our reviews and feedback. Here they are:

Tracy is efficient and very patient with us. Tour was very well arranged. Everything is good.
