Solo-ish China

Welcome to Shanghai. Catch your included arrival transfer at the airport, then join your CEO and fellow travellers for an epic Dinner Party in the heart of the city. Learn to cook delicious local delicacies and gather round with your new friends to dig in to your creations.

There's no better way to get underneath the skin of a place like digging into a hearty meal. In this case, set off on foot with your CEO first thing in the morning in search of some Shanghainese breakfast staples. Try da bing and you tiao for a sinfully delicious celebration of carbs. You'll be full, but that's what you'll need to keep your energy up as you continue exploring Shanghai with your CEO. Spend most of the day on foot exploring architectural Wukang Road and modern Anfu road. In the afternoon, visit the Yuyuan Garden Area and Yuyuan Bazaar and immerse yourself in local Chinese life. Finally, as the sun begins to set, walk along the famous Bund en route to an optional dinner.

Begin the day with an extra special surprise activity with your fellow Solo-ish travel mates. Then make you way to Zhujiajiao Water Town for a full day exploration of this incredible ancient area. Walk across Zhujiajiao's many bridges, all built during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Your expert CEO will point out tons of fascinating things and there will be some time at leisure to hop aboard a boat to float down the canals.

Today we take the bullet train to the city along the Yangtze river, Yangzhou. After an orientation walk, we'll explore the UNESCO World Heritage site of Slender West lake. Peppered with beautiful temples, bridges and weeping willow trees. In the evening, walk with your fellow Solo-ish travellers through the lantern lined Dongguan Street. Through hundreds of alleys with names like Peony Lane, Culture Lane and Five Blessings Lane, you'll feel like you're walking through a world of poetry.

After a delicious Dim Sum breakfast, enjoy a free morning to explore Yangzhou. Opt to relax, take a stroll or wander through the beautiful Geyuan Garden. Then catch the bullet train to the ancient city of Xi'An this afternoon.

Today we'll visit one of the most recognized and beloved archeological sites in the world, the Terracotta Warriors Museum. With your camera and your Solo-ish friends, we'll tour this incredible spot. After returning to the city, the afternoon is dedicated to the Xi'an Muslim Quarters. As the eastern terminus of the Silk Road, this historic city has maintained its importance and charm throughout centuries. Spend this time exploring the famous destinations like the Bell Tower and Drum Tower.

This morning the gang will head to the famous Xi'an City wall to explore together. Opt to walk along the wall or rent a bike and cruise. Later, travel to the historic charming city of Luoyi Ancient Town. Explore the town at night, admiring the lit lanterns and the reflection of the buildings on the lake.
