How should I plan my flight?
It all depends on how you want to explore the golden route. If you want to visit each of the cities on your own, you could begin with Beijing, followed by Xian, Guilin and Hong Kong.
Book an international flight to Beijing or Hong Kong.
In Hong Kong, Dragon Air offers an English-speaking escorted tour that walks you through the golden route. The tour departs daily from Hong Kong. It is an 8-day-7-night package inclusive of airfare, private transfer, hotel, tour and meal.
I strongly recommend that you pick Hong Kong as your last stop. Why? Well, you are likely to do a lot of shopping here. This will save you effort in carrying your shopped items on the road.
How do I connect to the world while I travel China?
Make cheap international calls with Skype
China travel tip: Getting There
Hong Kong flights to mainland China are treated as international flights. Even if you fly from Hong Kong to Beijing, you would still need to go through customs and immigration checks. This is due to the status of Hong Kong being a Special Administrative Region (SAR) of China.
