Itinerary
Day 1：Qingdao Arrival
- The Former Governor’s Residence - Badaguan
- 4-Star Hotel
- None
Morning: Upon arrival in Qingdao, head to the former Governor’s Residence, built in 1905. This masterpiece of German architecture features yellow walls, red-tiled sloping roofs, and Baroque-style pillars. Inside, restored rooms and century-old pianos, silverware, and wallpaper patterns bring colonial-era luxury vividly to life.
Afternoon: Visit Badaguan, known as an “Exposition of World Architecture.” Over 300 villas here represent styles from Germany, Russia, the U.S., and beyond. Stroll down tree-lined paths, where fallen leaves carpet the ground. Don’t miss Huashi Villa, blending Gothic, Roman, and Greek styles, or the fairytale-like Princess House.
Evening: Dine nearby and enjoy local specialties like mackerel dumplings and spicy stir-fried clams. After dinner, take a peaceful walk through the softly lit streets of Badaguan, where the romantic ambiance deepens under the glow of night.

Shopping on Nanjing Road in Shanghai was just amazing! It's truly the "First Commercial Street of China", where tradition and modernity blend perfectly. You can find awesome souvenirs and experience the trendy vibes in cool stores. The neon lights at night are just spectacular, shining bright like Times Square in New York. The food here is incredible too. I had a feast for my taste buds. Shanghai, I'll definitely be back!

As a solo traveler from Canada, I was nervous about navigating China alone—but this 11-day tour was PERFECT! From hiking the Great Wall at sunrise (Day 3) to gasping at the Terracotta Army (Day 5), every day delivered ‘pinch-me’ moments. The real showstopper? Zhangjiajie’s Avatar Mountains (Day 7)! Our guide made the stone pillars come alive with stories.
Massive thanks for handling all logistics—bullet train tickets, entry passes, car! And the 4-star hotels surprised me.

Our 2-day Zhangjiajie tour was beyond spectacular! As someone who’s visited Beijing and Shanghai for work, this trip revealed China’s wild, magical heart. Day 1 in Zhangjiajie National Forest Park felt like stepping onto Pandora—I’m a huge Avatar fan, and Yuanjiajie’s floating peaks left me breathless. The misty pillars and lush valleys like pure movie magic!
Then came Fenghuang Ancient Town, we eat dinner beside the thundering waterfall. It seems Unreal! The night views of stilt houses glowing over the river were straight from a fairy tale.
For fellow Avatar lovers and adventure seekers: Don’t miss this bucket-list experience! 10/10 would return.
