Cant help myself hope it's ok to post which I believe is a good deal.
$2,999 for 2-persons to 3 major cities: Beijing, Shanghai & XiAn.
Transport in Flight, High-speed train and Land.

Downside for Brisbane, Adelaide & Perth with "Departure City Surcharges" of $400/person but what the heck.
Also none to all these: Stay behind, Stopover Packages & Flight Class Upgrades.

But hey, if you want a quickie trip, me think it's a good deal.

    good, but you are gonna be pressured to buy random stuff at every stop. Hopefully you have some rich people in the group to take the heat off you.

      that's how they cover their revenue. Not much different from playing a "Free" game with adverts. lol

      Not in my recent experience with the tours, especially in a "foreigner" tour. It's illegal now for the tours to force you to buy anyways. But you'll definitely be taken to affiliated shops, but no minimum spend, so no pressure. If you really feel bad, give a tip to the tour guides.

      • tukanglistrik on 21/06/2023 - 15:23

        But the problem is those side trips are a big time waster. Instead of spending 5 hours on the tourist attraction, you'd get only 2 hours because you need to stop at 3 different stores and an affiliated "restaurant" which are attended only by tourists.

  • 4ustralian on 21/06/2023 - 11:42

    Wuhan, Xian! Weather is extremely hot travel around there.

    • assailantsky on 21/06/2023 - 12:20

      The package is available for travel from Nov 2023 to Nov 2024, so unless you you picked the Northern summer months (AKA our winter), it won't be that hot. Best time to travel Beijing and Xian is probably their autumn months from Sept to Nov. BTW this package don't go to Wuhan.

    Just back from CN. Local travel/tours operators are also running 50% off so majority of senior/retirees in CN are signing up. I overheard them saying most attractions are packed with people so while the price is great, you'll struggle to breath/move.

    • Pumpkin_rrr on 21/06/2023 - 11:58

      To avoid the peak, we went in winter, freezing cold!
      Stats for Forbidden City was showing "only" 3,000 people that day, compare to 20,000 other days….

      BTW, what is the process with CN Tourist Visa now?
      Oz Tourist Visa is shocking!

      • pork chop on 21/06/2023 - 12:12
        +2

        The Visa entry application is a pain. I waited 2 hours in the queue to submit my visa application, and 1.45 hours to collect my passport at the Visa office.

        Best not to travel to Beijing (Forbidden City) during Winter. The place is covered in snow and it's simply too cold!.

          Beijing is not much better in summer. Hot, humid, and unbearable smog. You will get some nice days though.

      How was your experience? Are credit cards widely accepted and how's the air quality?

    • woozie3 on 21/06/2023 - 13:19

      Seems like we have to prove we're covid negative 48hr before boarding…what was the process for you?

      • assailantsky on 21/06/2023 - 14:58
        +2

        Self declaration upon arrival on an online form. It's a tick box exercise now, airlines no longer check for negative tests on check in.

        • woozie3 on 21/06/2023 - 20:37

          Oh OK. I thought Chinese customs might be demanding proof of a negative test.

            @woozie3: I think it's prudent to bring copies of your Vax Cert, both electronic and paper copy.

    • tukanglistrik on 21/06/2023 - 15:25

      Lol that is always the case…everything you said.

    • pitufon on 22/06/2023 - 10:07

      Tourist attractions are packed every where in the world, no difference here. If you go to the great wall go towards the end of the day, and make your own way there. When i was there it was me my wife and another couple in the distance. Best experience.

    Not a deal. It was $999 per person including flights 2 months ago. Prob similar deal will come up every now and then.

    • cj3 on 21/06/2023 - 12:45

      Nope. That deal is still available for $999, it does not include the Terracotta Warriors in its itinerary, this one does.

      • runamuck on 21/06/2023 - 12:53

        My bad. You are correct. However we can upgrade that tour though to include the terracotta warriors but not sure how much extra.

        • anjel on 21/06/2023 - 14:40

          I personally recommend choosing a packaged tour, as you can benefit from the reassurance of official guidance. There used to be a notorious scam that even fooled many locals in China. In Xi'an, there was a completely fabricated Terracotta Warriors site. The bus for this scam is located right next to the authentic Terracotta Warriors site, so unfamiliar tourists could easily board the wrong bus and be taken to the counterfeit site. This scam was still active at least until COVID lockdown, with the local government turning a blind eye to it.

            @anjel:

            with the local government turning a blind eye to it.

            So long as they are paid their cut. They will continue to turn a blind eye.

      There's a small chance you've been flagged. These days you can gather most info from a person on social media. I wouldn't risk it :)

      You wouldn't want to be accused of spying. That 10 nights trip might end up being 2 years.

      Unless you speak Chinese, and have a million followers on Weibo or Tiktok, they couldn't care less what you say.

  • klrrider1 on 21/06/2023 - 12:59

    The OP made a mistake.

    There is also a visa centre in Canberra as well.

  • dasher86 on 21/06/2023 - 13:16

    You can pay with Qantas frequent flyer points.
    At a pretty decent redemption rate.
    Not as good as upgrades, but comparable to selling (which isn't allowed anyway).

  • GRP on 21/06/2023 - 13:25

    I gave up on seeing the Warriors or any other part of China a few years ago. I simply do not want to travel to China. I will miss Hong Kong but it is no longer what it was.
