Extensions & Stopovers

It’s easy to incorporate other destinations into our suggested itineraries. Look through the places described in the China section of this website to see where else you would like to visit. Hong Kong in particular is a very popular option. Also consider Tokyo, Dubai, Abu Dhabi or Doha if your airline flies via one of these cities.

Guide Prices

Please ask for a personal itinerary and one of our specialists will provide prices that are specific to you.
