Hangzhou’s West Lake was such a lovely, calming break after visiting all the busy imperial sites in the other cities. The pace of the tour is perfectly balanced between busy sightseeing days and slower afternoons to explore on your own. I can’t think of a better way to see all of these incredible ancient capitals in one trip.

The curation of this tour is really what sets it apart. Instead of bouncing around randomly between cities, the route flows perfectly and gives you a complete picture of Chinese imperial history across millennia.
Our consultant Lynn from HelloChinaTrip helped adjust our hotel preferences before the trip even started, which made the whole experience completely seamless. Visiting all six ancient capitals in order let us trace the rise and fall of different dynasties chronologically, which made the history feel far more connected and easy to follow. Each local guide was incredibly knowledgeable and happy to answer all of our endless questions about everything from terracotta warriors to Confucian traditions. This is easily the best organized historical tour I’ve ever joined.
I’ve wanted to visit Xi’an and Beijing for years, and this tour let me see so much more beyond those two iconic stops.
I went on this tour with my teenage kids who love history, and every single one of them was engaged the entire time. Luoyang’s Longmen Grottoes and Nanjing’s ancient city walls were unexpected highlights that I almost skipped if I had planned a trip on my own. The 12 days felt long enough to really soak in each city without feeling rushed or overly packed. We left with a new appreciation for just how deep and rich China’s history is.
The itinerary and guides were absolutely fantastic, but I traveled during the May holiday and most major sites were far more wonderful than I expected. The extra crowds made it a little harder to take photos and enjoy each spot at my own pace. I’d still recommend the tour to anyone, just book outside of peak Chinese holiday seasons if you can.
This 12-day tour was the perfect way to see China’s most historic sites, I’d book it again in a heartbeat.
As a history teacher, I’ve been planning a trip like this for years and this tour exceeded all my expectations. Each guide had specialized knowledge of their city’s specific history, and they shared little known stories that made every site feel alive. I loved getting to compare the different imperial architectural styles across each capital, from Beijing’s Forbidden City to Xi’an’s ancient city walls. The transportation between cities was well organized and always on time, which made hopping between six different cities feel effortless. If you’re even a little bit interested in Chinese history, this tour is an absolute must-book.
Every detail was taken care of, this was the most stress-free international trip I’ve ever taken.
Every stop on this itinerary felt intentional, no rushed sightseeing or filler activities. I learned so much about thousands of years of Chinese imperial history that I never got from textbooks.
