China Travel without Visa – Recommended Itinerary
China Golden Triangle (10 days)
| “From beautiful Beijing to sensational Shanghai, China feels like a best-kept-secret travel destination. Unlike many bucket-list trips, our China adventure with Laurus Travel didn’t feel rushed and inundated with tourists. We enjoyed a relaxed, yet immersive experience that hit all the travel/tourism high marks — historical, cultural, culinary, outdoors/leisure, and entertainment. Our Laurus guides were superb. Even during evenings and free “on your own” time, the cities we visited in China felt safe and welcoming. Highly recommended!” |
