CHINA FIRST TIME ITINERARY: 10 Days in CHINA! (Shanghai, Chengdu, Xi'An & Beijing)

Shanghai and Chengdu

Greta’s Travels outlines a 10-day itinerary through four Chinese cities. In Shanghai, she visits Yuyuan Bazaar at night, explores the Bund by day and after dark, walks through Yu Garden, and takes a sunset river cruise. The route then moves to Chengdu, where Greta visits the Giant Panda Base Research Centre, Wu Hou Shrine, and Jinli Ancient Street.

The itinerary includes local food and the city’s everyday atmosphere. Sichuan dishes can be very spicy, so travelers sensitive to heat may want to ask about spice levels. Greta’s route is packed, and she advises adjusting the pace to suit individual preferences and physical ability.

Xi’an and Beijing

From Chengdu, Greta takes a high-speed train to Xi’an. The itinerary includes the Muslim Quarter, Terracotta Warriors, Giant Wild Goose Pagoda, and the old city walls. The Terracotta Warriors are described as representing the armies of Qin Shi Huang. The historical stops provide a sense of the region’s past, while night visits and markets add another dimension to the trip.

In Beijing, she visits the Temple of Heaven and Jingshan Park, then travels to the Mutianyu section of the Great Wall. Going early can help avoid some crowds, and Mutianyu offers the unusual option of sliding down the wall. The Summer Palace completes the Beijing segment. The itinerary is ambitious for ten days, so travelers may want to prioritize the sites that matter most to them and allow enough time between cities.

In Beijing, the Temple of Heaven and Jingshan Park precede the Mutianyu Great Wall and the Summer Palace, which closes out the route with a look at imperial summer life.
