Your tailor-made-holiday in China will likely start in one of the metropolises of Beijing, Shanghai or Hong Kong. In each of these characterful cities, we can take you beneath the tourist veneer through our expert guides and friends on the ground. In Beijing, experience the Forbidden City with an architecture specialist, who can take you to hidden spots, untroubled by other visitors. We can also make a visit to Great Wall of China even more extraordinary, by taking you a little further to a quiet section of the wall where a stunning picnic will be waiting for you.
Only a two-hour drive from the fashion-forward Shanghai lies dreamy Hangzhou, with its mystical West Lake which has been enchanting poets and artists since the 9th Century. In Chengdu in the exciting Sichuan province, we can arrange special experiences with pandas and also cooking classes where you can understand the fantastic fiery cuisine of the south. The city is also the gateway to Jiuzhaigou, a national park with breathtaking scenery.
With our Destination Experts’ depth of knowledge, the possibilities we design in your luxury itinerary for China really are endless. From exploring the wild Yunnan province, to even experiencing the mythical Lhasa in Tibet, we can offer our clients something truly extraordinary.

We had an AMAZING time in China thank you. What a wonderful country, we were constantly surprised – the cleanliness, innovation, creativity, efficiency, food – very impressive bunch of people.
The highlight of our trip was really the hiking – we are pretty addicted to the outdoors. It was amazing, there was no one else hiking at all! Our guide in Yunnan was just sensational, he suited us perfectly in style, and varied the itinerary so we did things like hike up to the shamen – which took us very much into the back country and even into snow.
My experience of Hong Kong with cazenove+loyd was faultless and I'm so pleased we are now sending clients to this extraordinary city.
