Active China: 15 days from £5650 per person

BASINGSTOKE, U.K. - July 13, 2026 - PRLog -- With an area spanning almost 10 million square kilometres, and home to 17% of the entire World's population, it would take more than a lifetime to truly get to know China, which has so much to offer the intrepid traveller.

UK specialist tour operator Bamboo Travel knows the country better than most and has created 24 recommended itineraries from 15 to 20 days in duration to showcase the highlights.

Recently, they have noted an increase in clients wanting more active experiences in China, and to visit smaller and more rural locations away from the hustle and bustle of the big cities. The continually expanding high-speed train network has greatly increased the accessibility of rural areas where active pursuits are readily available.

One tour which really showcases this new trend is the 15-day 'Active China (https://bambootravel.co.uk/tours/active-china)', which combines some of China's natural and cultural highlights with plenty of adventure.

The trip begins with an alternative look at China's fascinating capital city, Beijing, with an opportunity to really get under the surface of this vast metropolis as you traverse the city as the locals do – by public transport or by bike, seeing some of Beijing's more off-the-beaten-track attractions as you go.

No visit to China is complete without a trip to the Great Wall, and this tour goes even further with a two-day trek along some of the more remote and wild sections, well away from the crowds.

The journey then takes you down south, where you will embark on a specialised three-day E-bike tour through the Guangxi countryside, some of the most picturesque in the whole of China, before returning to China's urban sprawl in Guangzhou.

The mix of traditional Cantonese culture, hyper-modern architecture, and colonial leftovers give Guangzhou a unique feel among China's mega-cities.

The tour concludes in Hong Kong – the Manhattan of the Orient – where you can combine your shopping with one of the best 'urban hikes' in the world along the famous Dragon's Backbone or perhaps take a Star Ferry to one of the more quiet outer islands such as Lantau or Cheung Chau.

The holiday costs from £5650 per person, based on two people sharing a room. This includes international and domestic flight, all transportation, activities/sightseeing, and guides.
