Given the recent news that China will now allow British citizens to travel to the country for up to 30 days without a visa, in order to boost UK tourism to the country, private travel specialist Captain’s Choice’s has planned an Ancient & Remote Wonders of China by Private Jet trip, taking place in September 2026:
This carefully curated journey helps guests navigate the enormity of history and culture on offer across China, seamlessly combining bustling cities with the tranquility of nature, all while travelling by luxurious Bombardier Challenger 850 business class private jet. With just 14 seats per jet, this itinerary is an intimate experience for 28 guests only. Beginning with a gala dinner on the iconic Great Wall of China, the itinerary weaves through the ancient city of Xi’an to view the astounding Terracotta Army, ventures into the dramatic landscapes of Ningxia’s Helan Mountains and the far-west reaches of Xinjiang, and brings guests close to giant pandas at the Dujiangyan Panda Base in Chengdu.
Throughout the journey, guests enjoy some of China’s most celebrated hotels and resorts, including the Waldorf Astoria in Beijing, offering refined elegance steps from the Forbidden City; The Temple House in Chengdu, a contemporary retreat with a focus on wellness; and the Regent Shanghai on the Bund, where timeless luxury meets spectacular riverside views. Each property offers curated dining experiences and immersive cultural encounters, ensuring comfort and sophistication at every stage of the trip.
The Ancient & Remote Wonders of China by Private Jet journey will take place from the 11th September to the 28th of September 2026, with a second journey from the 28th May to the 14th June 2027. With all costs included for the 18-day adventure, the journey is priced from £33,300 per person.
