Begin with two nights in Lhasa and a full day among the Potala Palace, the Jokhang Temple and the Barkhor pilgrim circuit. Then cross the plateau by road, past turquoise Yamdrok Lake and the Karola Glacier to the Kumbum stupa at Gyantse and on to Shigatse. Climb over the Gawu La, where Everest, Lhotse, Makalu and Cho Oyu can line the horizon at once, to sleep in a heated tent beneath Everest's north face at 5,200 m and wake for sunrise. Many Everest trips stop there; this one adds a day out to Namtso, ringed by the Nyenchen Tanglha peaks. Comfortable 4-star hotels, a base-camp tent, a private oxygen-equipped vehicle, a licensed English-speaking guide and your Tibet Travel Permit are all included.

A real courtyard, not a stage set. 93 Courtyard Museum is an authentically preserved century-old siheyuan — not a tourist replica, but a living piece of Beijing's architectural heritage. You make, you don't watch. Every workshop is hands-on from start to finish. No passive demonstrations. You leave with a finished piece you created yourself. Learn from an artisan, not a tour guide. Real techniques, real stories, real patience. Private and intimate. Groups are capped at 4–8 people. No crowded rooms, no rushed rotations. You get genuine one-on-one guidance at your own pace. Six crafts, your choice. More options available to choose from on-site. Tucked in a quiet hutong lane far from the crowds, this is a side of Beijing most visitors never find. No experience required. Just curiosity. All instruction is in English, and every step is guided. A souvenir with a story. Your handmade creation is packaged for travel — and it means more than anything you'd buy in a shop.

This private day tour starts with unhurried time at the Terracotta Warriors, timed to the museum's opening -- the quietest window of the day, before the tour buses arrive. Your guide walks you through Pits 1, 2 and 3 at your own pace. By early afternoon you're back in the city and you choose how to spend the rest of the day. Option A: Yuanjia Village Food City, where 100+ Shaanxi snacks are made by hand in front of you, then a hands-on panniu (frog-button) knot-tying lesson with our partner craftsperson at Datang Xishi, and a walk through one of Xi'an's oldest local markets at the foot of the city wall. Option B: a real Chinese e-bike -- not a pedal bike, not laps on top of the City Wall -- through the old city's backstreets with your guide beside you: the Bell Tower, street food in Huifang, Guangren Temple at dusk, and Jianguomen Old Market in neon. Fully private, and because it's private the start time flexes around you.

You probably didn’t come to Shanghai expecting to get your hands on a real Qing dynasty book — let alone help restore one. This is one of those experiences that’s genuinely hard to find: step inside a local antique shop, work with an authentic book page from the late Qing dynasty, and spend two quiet hours doing something almost completely removed from modern life. Just you, your hands, and a piece of the past. And this isn’t a replica or a craft made to look old. You’ll be working with the real thing — a page that has survived for more than a century — learning how to repair it using traditional conservation techniques under the guidance of a professional book conservator. The page stays with the collection, where your restoration becomes part of its continuing story. You won’t find this at the usual Shanghai attractions — and that’s exactly the point.
