China (Beijing & Xi'an)

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

China's Beijing and Xi'an together form one of the world's great historical corridors. Beijing, the capital, is home to iconic landmarks including the Forbidden City, Tiananmen Square, and the Great Wall, offering a deep dive into imperial Chinese history alongside a buzzing modern metropolis. Xi'an, one of the oldest cities in China and the ancient capital of numerous dynasties, is world-famous for the Terracotta Army of Emperor Qin Shi Huang and its remarkably intact Ming-era city walls. Travellers come to this pairing for the sheer scale of China's civilisation, the contrast between ancient heritage and contemporary urban life, and the rich food culture each city offers.

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for China (Beijing & Xi'an) yet — which, frankly, is an opportunity.

Wait, what's a Mission?It's not a scheduled trip with dates and a minimum group size like a Departure — it's a goal. Learn to dive, do a Muay Thai camp, live somewhere for a month and work on something, chase one very specific experience. Post it, and other people chasing the same thing find you.

Be the first to post one: "Find the most locally-hated tourist trap and go anyway, unironically, in a costume."
