If the scenery of this trip was stunning, then the service of Your Way Holiday was the reason why this stunning feeling became more lasting. What touched me most was the care in the details. Before departure, when Bonnie learned that my traveling companion had a weak stomach, she specially informed the restaurants in various places in advance to prepare light dishes. When we arrived in Snow Village, the temperature dropped to minus 30 degrees Celsius, and she also prepared warm patches and thermos cups for each of us in advance. She said that the local guide Autumn specially reminded her, fearing that we would not adapt to the northern climate for the first time.

Speaking of tour guides, each guide in different cities was as kind as a friend. When we went to see rime on Wusong Island in Jilin, we set off before dawn. Guide Hanah specially brought us hot soymilk and steamed buns, saying that it was easy to catch a cold if we watched the snow scene on an empty stomach. In addition to the service, the experience during the journey was also full of surprises. On the night in Snow Village, we made dumplings and cut window decorations with the guide, and sang and danced with the local villagers. At Jingpo Lake, we took a cruise to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the lake and mountains, and watched the magnificent Diao Shui Lou Waterfall. The shock is still unforgettable. In Zhujiajiao Water Town, we took a covered boat and shuttled through the alleys, listening to the boat lady singing Jiangnan minor tunes, as if we were in an ink painting. These experiences were not just a quick check-in, but a deep experience of truly integrating into the local life, which was inseparable from the careful design of the itinerary.

What an amazing adventure! We spent 16 days traveling across China, and it was a journey that we’ll never forget. From Beijing to Shanghai, with stops in Harbin, Snow Village, and Jilin, we saw it all—ancient landmarks, majestic mountains, charming villages, and so much more. I really appreciate how every city we visited had its own unique vibe, and it was incredible how different the landscapes and cultural experiences were as we moved across the country.

Beijing was everything we hoped for—historical landmarks like the Forbidden City and the Temple of Heaven were as breathtaking as you imagine them to be. We especially enjoyed our visit to the Mutianyu Great Wall, which was much less crowded than other sections of the wall, and gave us plenty of space to take in the beauty of the surroundings. Our guide in Beijing really made the history come alive, and it was clear that they loved sharing the city’s past with us.

Next, we journeyed to Harbin, and that’s when the real winter magic began. The Ice and Snow World in Harbin is an absolute must-see—it was nothing like I’ve ever seen before. The sheer scale of the ice sculptures, paired with the twinkling lights, made it feel like we were in an ice kingdom. We also visited Volga Manor, where the Russian influence was evident in the architecture and ambiance. It was such a unique experience, and we loved how much we learned about the local culture.

Snow Village was a place that truly surprised us—it’s the kind of place you don’t expect to find in China, yet it was one of the most peaceful, charming places we visited. The snow-covered roofs, the quiet streets, and the hospitality of the villagers made us feel at home, even though we were so far from our own. We were able to experience rural China in a way that felt both intimate and immersive.

The journey continued to Jilin and Changbai Mountain, where the snow-capped mountains and pristine lakes left us speechless. Heavenly Lake was one of the most awe-inspiring sights I’ve ever seen—absolutely worth the trip. Finally, we wrapped up our trip in Shanghai, where the contrast between the modern skyline and traditional neighborhoods was fascinating. The Zhujiajiao Water Town felt like the perfect ending to the trip—so serene and picturesque.

Throughout the entire trip, the guides and drivers were fantastic. Each guide was a professional who really understood the places we were visiting, and they always went above and beyond to make sure we had a fantastic experience. The entire trip was well-organized and seamless, with no delays or problems. I honestly can’t recommend this journey enough—it was everything we wanted and more. If you’re looking for an incredible adventure that mixes culture, history, and natural beauty, this is the trip for you!

Then we journeyed to Snow Village, which was like something from a snow-covered fairy tale. Everything about it—from the rustic wooden homes to the pristine white landscape—was magical. Jingpo Lake’s frozen waterfalls added even more wonder to the experience. As we traveled through Jilin and Changbai Mountain, we learned so much about China’s history and culture. The trip ended with the perfect mix of modern and traditional in Shanghai. Walking along the Bund, enjoying the Yuyuan Garden, and then exploring the Zhujiajiao Water Town was a peaceful, picturesque conclusion to our journey.

Looking back at our 15-day trip across China, I’m still in awe of how much we saw and experienced. The trip started with the vibrant energy of Shanghai, where we enjoyed everything from the iconic Bund to the peaceful Yuyuan Garden. Hangzhou was a perfect contrast with its serenity, especially the boat cruise on West Lake, which was one of the most peaceful moments of the entire trip. In Xian, the Terracotta Warriors took my breath away—I couldn’t believe I was standing in front of something so historically significant. And then there was Beijing. From Tiananmen Square to the Great Wall, every historical site was even more impressive than I imagined. What made this journey so special were the guides—each one brought their own personality and expertise, making every stop feel like a rich, personal experience.

We got to experience everything from the hustle and bustle of Shanghai to the serene beauty of Lhasa and the historic wonders of Xi’an and Beijing.
