This was a perfect trip! The itinerary was very well-organized, allowing us to see China's most important sights in a short amount of time. The tour guide was knowledgeable and very friendly. Especially loved the Mutianyu Great Wall, it was not crowded and the scenery was stunning. Highly recommend for first-time visitors to China!

Overall a great experience. The Terracotta Warriors were truly breathtaking. The hotels and meals exceeded expectations. The only minor downside was the long high-speed train ride from Beijing to Xi'an, but that's just due to the distance. Other than that, everything was smooth and well worth the money.
