The Beijing, Luoyang and Xi’an tour connects Beijing’s ceremonial architecture with Longmen’s cliff carvings and the Qin and Tang stories around Xi’an. Shaolin adds a temple-and-martial-arts chapter between the capitals.
A hutong rickshaw and tasting, Luoyang’s old streets and a scheduled Shaolin martial-arts presentation give the historical route different rhythms.

Open each day for the itinerary and service details.
Your Beijing, Luoyang and Xi’an tour begins here. Meet your local team in Beijing and travel to the hotel by private vehicle. Keep the arrival day for checking in, resting and becoming familiar with the nearby streets, rather than adding a fixed sightseeing circuit. Your meeting point follows the confirmed flight or train, with luggage and any early-arrival needs discussed beforehand.

Follow Tian’anmen Square into the Forbidden City, spending around three hours with palace architecture, ceremonial halls and the quieter courtyards open that day.

Begin with burial architecture and painted chambers at the Ancient Tombs Museum, then continue to Longmen for Buddhist sculpture along the Yi River. Allow around 2.5–3 hours at the grottoes rather than treating them as a brief photo stop. Evening illumination requires a separately confirmed operating programme. An April peony-garden substitution is an advance choice, not an extra stop added automatically.
