Natalie· October 20th, 2019Extremely disappointed that we were not informed of the hotel change at the beginning of the trip. I think it would be beneficial to change the group meeting either early afternoon or after dinner so that people can see the Shanghai skyline at night...

Frequently Asked Questions
- How do I arrange a Chinese tourist visa?
As a tour booking website, TourRadar cannot be an effective and accurate visa authority as this information is regularly being updated and varies for the nationality of one traveller to the next. However, Intrepid will be able to offer guidance on Chinese tourist visas for their China trips as soon as you have a booking request however if you have any additional questions in the meantime please contact your local consulate or embassy.
- Where and when does the tour end?
The tour will finish in Beijing on Day 9 at the King Parkview Hotel. There are no planned activities for this day so you're free to depart at any time after breakfast, or enjoy an extended stay in China's capital and tick off some of our suggested optional activities. Please be aware that the departure point is subject to change until your final documents are released.
- Where and when does the tour start?
Day 1 of this tour starts in Shanghai with your 6pm important Welcome Meeting, which will take place at the Greenland Jiu Long Hotel. You can get the details of this from your hotel reception upon arrival. For the rest of the time you're free to explore the bright lights of China's most sprawling city!

We are happy to pre-book your departure and arrival transfers, however this is not included in the tour price and will be an extra charge. Please contact our travel experts to arrange this once you have a confirmed booking. Below are the public transport links from both airports to the joining point:
