Discover China

China is a country of scale, a place where a 2,000-year-old wall runs across mountains for thousands of kilometres, and a city like Shanghai can still feel brand new. One week you're standing among the Terracotta Warriors in Xi'an, the next you're drifting down the Yangtze past limestone cliffs wrapped in mist. As an experienced DMC in China, Odyssey DMC builds journeys around that scale, connecting imperial history, natural landscapes, and modern cities into itineraries shaped around whoever's actually travelling.

China Travel Packages Across Ancient and Modern Wonders

China travel packages bring together an incredible range of contrasts in a single trip. China moves from the imperial rooftops of Beijing's Forbidden City to the karst peaks around Guilin, then straight into the glass towers of Shanghai - three completely different countries, almost, inside one border. Add the Great Wall, the Terracotta Army, and a food scene that changes every few hundred kilometres, and it's easy to see why repeat travellers keep coming back.

That range is exactly what makes China such a strong fit for group tours, incentive trips, and tailored itineraries alike. Whether it's a Yangtze river cruise or a food-focused route through Chengdu and Xi'an, Odyssey DMC handles the ground details so travellers can just show up and experience it.

Imperial Cities & Natural Wonders

China travel packages can shift from imperial capital to open countryside faster than you'd expect. Beijing's palaces and hutongs give way to Xi'an's buried army, then the karst hills of Guilin and the river towns strung along the Yangtze; each stop feels like a different era of the country's history. Odyssey DMC threads these regions into one itinerary, handling every transfer, permit, and local partnership along the way.

  • Wander the Forbidden City, Tiananmen Square, and Beijing's old hutong lanes
  • Stand face to face with the Terracotta Warriors in Xi'an
  • Cruise the Yangtze through the Three Gorges and riverside old towns
  • Cycle or raft past the limestone peaks along the Li River in Guilin
  • Explore Shanghai's Bund skyline, French Concession streets, and night markets

Sichuan's Pandas & Yunnan's Highlands

As a DMC in China, Odyssey DMC takes travellers beyond the country's classic imperial circuit into a quieter, greener side of the country. In Chengdu, mornings start with giant pandas and end with a hotpot spicy enough to make your eyes water. Further west, the old town of Lijiang and the misty peaks around Shangri-La feel closer to Tibet than to Beijing, and the turquoise lakes of Jiuzhaigou look almost too saturated to be real. It's the route Odyssey DMC builds for travellers who've already seen the Great Wall and want to know what else the country has hiding.

  • Visit the giant pandas at Chengdu's research base, then stay for a proper hotpot dinner
  • Wander the canals and cobbled lanes of Lijiang's old town at dawn, before the crowds
  • Hike or drive through the technicolour lakes and waterfalls of Jiuzhaigou National Park
  • Explore the Tibetan-influenced monasteries and highland scenery around Shangri-La
  • Sample Sichuan's street food scene, from mapo tofu to fiery dan dan noodles.
