History & culture

History & culture

As one of the world’s four ancient civilisations and a history stretching back over 4,000 years, it’s little wonder that China boasts an incredible richness of history and culture.

Today, China is an ancient culture reinvented; whilst some aspects of life remain as they have for thousands of years, especially in rural areas, many aspects are being embellished by the new, with state-of-the-art modernity found in every town and city. A holiday through China is a voyage through time with endless discoveries. Because of this, the rewards of travelling through China are endless. Whether you come looking for ancient heritage or contemporary culture.

Natural wonders

Natural wonders

China’s landscapes and natural scenery is vast and full of contrasts. Enjoy a tranquil cruise through the lush countryside of the Li River, dotted with towering limestone peaks, marvel at the towering cliffs of the Three Gorges on a Yangtze cruise or get up close to China’s most celebrated bear, the adorable panda in Chengdu. From the snow-capped mountains of Yunnan to the rolling dunes of the Taklaman Desert the diversity is astonishing. The sheer diversity of China’s natural wonders is nothing short of breathtaking.

Culinary Delights

Culinary Delights

Get ready to explore the diverse culinary landscape of China. Each province is known for its own style of cooking which shapes the Chinese cuisine we all know and love today. Few know that there is 1,366 miles between the traditional dish of Peking duck and the delights of Dim Sum, so that’s why we make sure that there is time in each destination on our tours to try the local delicacies. From a spicy hot pot in Chengdu, to hand-stretched noodles in Kunming, you will embark on an adventure of the senses.

The Great wall

The Great wall

China’s most iconic sight, the Great Wall, stretches from Shanhaiguan on the Bohai Sea to Lop Lake in the Gobi Desert – around 4,000 miles.  Many sections of the wall are easily accessible from Beijing. Whether you are after an easy walk to explore well preserved sections, or perhaps to see a slightly wilder area of the wall, snaking-through-the-barren-hills type experience, the Great Wall will certainly be one of the most exciting, magnificent, and unbelievable things you’ll ever see.

Review for Glories of China
My husband and I travelled with Wendy Wu tours to China in September this year. I would like to give a big shout out to Wendy Wu and the fabulous tour guides we had along the way. Cathy (our main guide) was just superb and made our trip truly memorable. The food, the accommodation, the wonderful shows we saw and of course the spectacular sights of China, made this trip better than i ever thought possible. Thank you for the fabulous memories.

Review for Wonders of China
We did a 16 Wonder of China tour with a beautiful ****** Britney (Zhang Ru). Britney was organized, attentive, care, patient, knowledgeable in Chinese new and old histories and culture, above all she was lively and fun which made the tour full of laughter and joy. The Great Wall of China is magnificent, terracotta warriors in Xi’an is unbelievable til you see it, cruising on Yangtze River was beautiful with classic and optional shore tour, cruising from Guilin to Yangshuo on Li river was WOW factor, it took our breath away. We have already thinking of coming back to Guilin again just to sit back and enjoy the most beautiful scenery on earth. Shanghai the Bund is jaw dropping.

Review for Majestic Yangtze
Just returned from a fantastic 2 week Wendy Wu tour of China. Visited Shanghai, Chengdu, Xi'an & Beijing with a wonderful 4 night Yangtze River cruise. Saw the terracotta warriors, pandas, Great Wall of China, Forbidden City, Tiananmen Square, Three Gorges Dam, Summer Palace & so much more. So much culture & history fused with ultra modern architecture and technology, and the Chinese people were a delight. Accompanied by national and local tour guides throughout the whole tour and they were all amazing - so friendly, helpful & knowledgeable. They all spoke really good English. Big shout out to Eileen Liu our national guide who helped to make our holiday perfect! Hotels were excellent standard as was the cruise ship. Food was plentiful and varied (although understandably mainly Chinese). Wendy Wu is a great tour company who looked after us every step of the way from the moment we booked until we had checked in for our return flight home. Everything ran like clockwork and we were so lucky to be in a group of 20 lovely people, and we had such an enjoyable time. It was truly an incredible experience and a holiday we will never forget. We would not hesitate to travel with Wendy Wu again and would recommend them to anyone wishing to book an escorted tour to China and beyond. Thank you Wendy Wu for our holiday of a lifetime!

Review for Legends of the Silk Road
Our first time on vacation with Wendy Wu, it exceeded expectations and we would not hesitate in travelling with them again or recommending them.
The Legends of the Silk Road, travelling the Northwest of China was a truly exciting and fascinating adventure. Visiting cities that were part of the age old journey brought history to life. The Western part of the Great Wall of China and viewing one of the most significant discoveries namely the Terracotta Warriors including their horses in life size form was magnificent.

  • We grade our tours on level of activity and amount of walking involved, which can be found on the tour pages on the website and in our brochures, under ‘Physical Rating’. We grade the tours as follows:

    • Level 1 – A reasonable level of fitness is required, but its more about spending time on your feet rather than covering large distances.
    • Level 2 – This will involve a little more time on your feet than level 1 tours and may involve a bit more walking or steps.
    • Level 3 – A good level of fitness is required, as around 2-3 hours of walking will be required per day. Other activities such as cycling, may be included and walking longer distances.
    • Level 4 – Level 4 is similar to level 3 but the activities may be of longer duration or a more challenging terrain.
    • Level 5 – You’ll need to be fit and adventurous to participate in these tours as in some cases you will be active for most of the day on tough terrain or have physically demanding activities.
