Trip of the Day: Journeys Iconic China

16 days from Beijing to Hong Kong

This one feels extra special because this is the trip I’m looking at doing next with Wes and the boys.
China has been on my list for a long time, and this itinerary has such a great mix of culture, food, history, nature, and those once-in-a-lifetime moments.

Think Beijing, Shanghai, Xi’an, Chengdu, Yangshuo, Zhangjiajie, and Hong Kong all in one incredible journey.

Trip highlights include:
Tai Chi at the Temple of Heaven
Peking Duck lunch in Beijing
Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City
Hiking the Great Wall at Jinshanling, with a special drink and snack right on the wall
The Terracotta Warriors in Xi’an
Exploring the Muslim Quarter
Shanghai, the Bund, and a Huangpu River night cruise
Zhangjiajie National Park and the famous Bailong Elevator
Tianmen Mountain, the glass bridge, and Heavenly Gate
Chengdu hot pot dinner
Giant Panda Conservation and Research Centre
Li River bamboo raft in Yangshuo
Tea plantation visit and traditional tea ceremony
Symphony of Lights in Hong Kong
Dim sum dinner

What’s included:
15 nights hotel accommodation
15 breakfasts, 4 lunches, 3 dinners
Internal flights
Bullet train, private vehicle, cable car, bamboo boat, ferry, metro, and more
Arrival transfer
All transport between destinations and included activities

This would be an amazing private group for 2028, and I’m curious… does anyone want to join us?

If China is on your bucket list, this could be such a fun one to experience together.

Day 11 – Ladies Trip: Discover the Balkans

Today we said goodbye to beautiful Sarajevo and made our way to Kotor, Montenegro. I honestly cannot believe how stunning the drive was! The scenery was absolutely breathtaking, with towering mountains, deep valleys, and winding roads that seemed to go on forever.

After crossing the border into Montenegro, we arrived at the spectacular Bay of Kotor, a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its dramatic waterfront landscapes, medieval architecture, and charming seaside towns. Every turn revealed another postcard-worthy view.

This evening we wandered through the enchanting walled city of Kotor before enjoying an amazing dinner on a quaint little street tucked among the historic stone buildings. The atmosphere was magical and the perfect way to end another incredible day.

Now it’s time for some sleep because a few of us are setting out on an early morning hike tomorrow. Adventure awaits!

Not all of Italy is big cities.

Picture alpine lakes, storybook villages, and boat rides to places like Bellagio and Varenna.

The Italian Lakes reveal a quieter side of Italy that many travellers miss.

Would this be on the bucket list?

Day 10 – Ladies Trip: Discover the Balkans

Today was a free day in Sarajevo, and everyone enjoyed it a little differently. Some of the ladies took the cable car, wandered the Old Town, did some shopping, and enjoyed coffee at a leisurely pace.

A few of us met up with a local guide and headed up the cable car to Trebević Mountain for a hike. We trekked from the cable car station to the summit and back, covering about 10 km round trip. The 360-degree views were absolutely stunning—we could see all of Sarajevo and the surrounding mountains.

At the top, we stopped at a cozy coffee shop where we spent time chatting with our guide. She was a teenager during the Siege of Sarajevo and shared heartbreaking stories about what life was like during those years. At just 14 years old, she hauled water five times a day up to her family's 10th-floor apartment—not small containers, but enough water for the family's daily needs. Despite everything she endured, she has an incredibly positive outlook on life and is one of the most inspiring people I've met.

Tomorrow I leave Bosnia, but this country has truly earned a special place in my heart. The history, the people, the resilience, and the beauty have all left a lasting impression. It's one of Europe's hidden gems, and I can't wait to return and explore even more.

One final observation... Bosnians really, really love their ci******es!

What if your Mediterranean holiday included a live Andrea Bocelli concert in Tuscany?

On 23 July 2026, this exclusive Destination Experience is available as part of your holiday, with VIP access at the Teatro del Silenzio and a curated day through the Italian countryside.

Maybe the best hotel isn’t a hotel. If you’re planning the Mediterranean for summer 2026, I can include this in your itinerary on board Explora Journeys.
