China & Taiwan

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

China is the world's most populous country and one of its oldest civilisations, spanning vast landscapes from the Himalayan plateau and Gobi Desert to subtropical coastlines and the karst peaks of Guilin. Travellers come for iconic landmarks like the Great Wall, the Forbidden City, and the Terracotta Army, as well as for ancient water towns, bustling megacities, and diverse regional cuisines. Taiwan, the island to China's southeast, is celebrated for its night markets, hot springs, dramatic mountain scenery, and warm, welcoming culture. Together, the two destinations offer an extraordinarily rich mix of history, nature, and modern urban life.

China & Taiwan: Great Wall, Terracotta Warriors & Night Markets (Self-Launched)

A self-launched 16-day version of G Adventures' Beijing-to-Taipei route, done on high-speed rail, metros, night buses and one cheap internal flight. You'll hike Mutianyu's Great Wall towers, wander the Forbidden City and Tiananmen Square, stand with the Terracotta Army in Xi'an, ride the overnight sleeper east to Suzhou's classical gardens, follow the Bund in Shanghai, then cross to Taiwan for Taipei's temples and Elephant Mountain, the Bunun village experience at Shuanglong, the Sun Moon Lake bike loop, and historic Tainan's Anping lanes. All the same highlights — booked yourself, at backpacker prices. Costs are approximate and exclude international flights to Beijing / home from Taipei.

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for China & Taiwan 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: "Eat the strangest thing on the menu every single day for a week and document the regret."
