China

The most ancient of the world’s civilizations, China engulfs travelers with experiences that range from serene tribal villages in Yunnan to the bracing swirl of the Bund in the heart of throbbing Shanghai, and the solitude of nomadic caravans crossing the epic vastness of Xinjiang Province.

Our experience in China reaches back decades, to the days when the country opened its long-sequestered hinterlands, and we have never stopped rediscovering it. We’ve explored many ultra-remote areas, and crafted new approaches to classic destinations. We’re constantly amazed by China’s unending treasures. We’ve built a number of itineraries, all featuring Geographic Expeditions’ trademark imaginative planning, superb guiding, top-notch accommodations, and cultural and scenic flourishes throughout. Since our travelers’ interests are eclectic, so are our trips. The possibilities are nearly endless, as befits this huge, diverse, and massively intriguing country.
