City & Short Tours
Dragon Bus China is your only choice for independent travel in China. Backpacking is an option, an option that is often taken as it affords independence and flexibility. Dragon Bus has been created outside of the mould of pre-paying for day tours, meals and sites, which often add considerable amounts to your travel plans, but of course we have plenty to choose from, but at reasonsible costs. Independent travel has shown considerable growth as a travel option over years. Why? Perhaps it gives choice to the traveller. Choice to experience the sites and attractions you wish to see. Cities, mountain villages, seaside resorts & even monasteries are all within during your travel with Dragon Bus. "It's Your Choice!" with Dragon Bus and so in keeping with our Motto we've put together a range of extra city and sites tours that we believe you'll enjoy. These options range from self Tour Leaderd walks to fully organised day trips. We'll even give you advice on the best iPhone applications to download for use while in China! The following are a list of cities, villages and sites that we stay overnight in or travel through. Day trips should be considered and during the Pass briefing on the first night you should make your Tour Leader aware of which ones you wish to undertake. They are also sometimes offered to other "Backpackers" and independent travellers staying at the same hostel and can quickly fill up. The My Routes section of our website is soon to be uploaded with various downloadable outlines, City Tours and points of interest for those that have already booked.cThe following is a small list of activities and sites from each City that we have available.
How much choice do you want?
Beijing Duck (at a local restaurant), Beijing Opera, a Kungfu show or just ride a bike around ancient Hutongs and we nearly forgot flying a kite in Tiananmen Square! Yes, Beijing has it all and it also has many amazing and FREE activities, which for those with a Dragon Pass we're happy to share with you. The summer Palace of Chengde is a must and is the reason why we visit this mountain village, well apart from its fresh air and food! Explore the Palace grounds and see where Hong Kong was officailly ceded to the British. There are also various tours within its grounds, including boat rides. The grounds are more than 5 sq km in size, so pack your energy and a second memory stick for your camera! Climbing Mt Huangshan is a must, however you can also raft down a river on a bamboo boat or explore an ancient village where parts of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon were filmed! Huangshan City has famed "old streets" where you can stroll around and sample some of the local favourite foods.....
The cultural treasure trove of China, and often missed! We opted to spend at least 2 free days in this city, and we'll also help you explore it, and all without encountering that common feeling of frustration and hassle if trying DIY in China! Too many attractions to name them all, join us & find out all about them!
Free days in Qingdao. Mt Laoshan is a must and one of China's most famous mountains. Don't worry the return trip will head past (and through) the famous Qingdao Brewery! Explore the city on foot with our Tour Leader and see the many German built buildings, including churches. Again too many to list, click here for more!
Explore the Kong family Mansion & Temple! Who are they? That's the family of the famous Confucius! At night there are amazing shows that take place in the Temple, which highlight past the Chinese culture of this city.
Where do we start? How much do you want to do? You're only limited by your imagination, whether that be learning the Art of Kungfu or exploring the historically magnificent Shaolin Temples.
Bar Street is an obvious point of gathering, but Suzhou has some of the most amazing gardens & classical Chinese architecture. Suzhou is also a good place to explore on foot. Shanghai is a place that if you can't get around by yourself then you're really going to struggle with the rest of China. Considered the most western Chinese city it has countless places, attractions and historical sites that you should be able to find to entertain yourself. Click here for the low down on this high end city! Listing all that should and could be done in this amazing city would need a whole new website! Remember that your Dragon Pass includes a full day visit to the historical Terracotta Warriors and many other sites, so what to do on your other days.....join us and find out! Another city that is off the "tourist path", but one with a rich and diverse history.Yangzhou can often be best explored by yourself, but our Tour Leader also has a city tour that will end with a foot massage in one of this cities renowned businesses. The gateway to the Shaolin Monks and the Terracotta Warriors of Xian. Explore the amazing river delta of the mighty Yangtze or Yellow River.
