China Imperial Discovery
About This Program
A 14-day private journey through China's imperial heritage, ancient Naxi culture, cosmopolitan Shanghai, and vibrant Hong Kong — with Michelin three-star dining and the world's finest hotels.
This meticulously crafted 14-day journey traverses the breadth of Chinese civilization — from the imperial grandeur of Beijing's Forbidden City and the Great Wall to the ancient Naxi culture of Lijiang's UNESCO-listed Old Town, the cosmopolitan sophistication of Shanghai's Bund, and the dynamic energy of Hong Kong's harbour. Every night is spent in one of Asia's most extraordinary hotels: the legendary Peninsula Beijing, the serene Amandayan in Lijiang, the heritage-rich Capella Shanghai, and the world's number-one-ranked Rosewood Hong Kong. Your private guides — art historians, cultural experts, and culinary insiders — unlock experiences unavailable to ordinary visitors, while Michelin three-star restaurants provide the culinary thread that weaves this extraordinary journey together.
