China offers a plethora of ground-breaking luxury hotels at a fraction of the cost of those in Paris, Rome or London – generously sized rooms are equipped with the latest technology, comforts and conveniences. Accompanying these properties are sophisticated, innovative restaurants exploring the culinary arts through collaborations between different regions within China and internationally. Layered into the night scene are micro-breweries developing craft beers with spicy local characteristics, rice wine labels or cocktail bars focussing on home-grown spirits. And apart from enjoying world class monuments and cultural sites, through Imperial Tours you have to opportunity to benefit from access to exclusive destinations, people and experiences. You could be wandering through normally closed sections of the Forbidden City, meeting with top curators, journalists and investors or flying in a helicopter along the Great Wall as it crests vertiginous mountain ridges. After a few days of cultural highlights, relax at a luxury resort in beautiful scenery or retreat to a wellness spa based on the teachings of traditional Chinese medicine.
