China Uncovered: Glamour, Culture & Hidden Corners View Basket

Step inside 5,000 years of history

Dynasties, traditions and modern dreams sit side by side in dazzling harmony

Join Travelling Divas on a12-day journey created for women who seek culture, connection and soul. You'll trace Shanghai's Art Deco glamour, drift through Chengdu's slow and sensual rhythm, and breathe deeply in the sacred quiet of Qingcheng Mountain before finishing in the shimmering, vertical theatre that is Hong Kong.

You'll wander vibrant food markets alive with colour and the hiss of street-corner woks. Sip tea where time seems to pause. Watch the ancient precision of kung fu poured, quite literally, into a teacup. Glide along the Huangpu River on your own private yacht. Greet giant pandas under the watchful eye of their keepers. Move through dawn tai chi on a misty mountain with a martial arts master. Then raise a glass above Hong Kong's skyline as the city turns to light.

Along the way you'll stay in some of China's most exquisite boutique hotels — the quietly glamorous The Middle House in Shanghai, the refined modern sanctuary of The Temple House in Chengdu, the restorative calm of Six Senses Qingcheng Mountain and the high-rise elegance of The Upper House in Hong Kong.

Each day blends culture, cuisine, style and wellness. Each moment is designed to feel personal, thoughtful and unhurried.
