China Tour Package Cost Breakdown

How much does a China tour package cost? A China tour package generally costs between ₹95,000 and ₹2,20,000+ per person, depending on trip duration, hotel category, number of cities covered, and travel season.

What affects China package pricing:

• Number of cities covered — a Beijing-only trip costs less than a Beijing-Xian-Shanghai circuit
• Hotel category — standard business hotels vs. premium international chains
• Season — spring (April-May) and autumn (September-October) carry higher rates than the winter off-season
• High-speed rail travel — bullet train tickets between cities are a notable cost factor and are usually bundled into the package
• Visa processing — China's visa requires an in-person biometric appointment for most applicants, which our team helps coordinate

Places Covered in Our Beijing Package

Trust: Transparent, itemized pricing with no hidden charges, a secure booking process, and access to travel insurance support — so you know exactly what you're paying for before you confirm.

Good to Know Before You Travel to China

What is the best time to visit China? Spring (April-May) and autumn (September-October) generally offer the most comfortable weather for sightseeing, with mild temperatures across Beijing, Xi'an, and Shanghai. Summer can be hot and humid, especially in Shanghai, while winter brings cold, dry conditions to Beijing.

How many days do I need for China? Allow at least 6-8 days to comfortably cover Beijing, Xi'an, and Shanghai. Shorter trips of 4-5 days work if you focus on just Beijing, while travelers wanting to add Guilin or Chengdu should plan for 10+ days.

How do I reach China from India? Direct flights connect Delhi and other major Indian cities to Beijing and Shanghai, with flight time of roughly 5-7 hours depending on the route and city pair.

Does China require a visa for Indians? Yes, Indian passport holders currently need a visa to enter China, typically requiring an in-person biometric appointment as part of the application. Leisure Trips guides you through this process well ahead of your travel date as part of every package.

Other practical details:

• Passport should be valid for at least 6 months beyond your travel dates
• China is 2.5 hours ahead of India
• Local currency is the Chinese Yuan (RMB); China is heavily digital-payment-driven domestically, so carrying some cash and a usable international card is important for visitors
• Many common Western apps and websites (Google, WhatsApp, Instagram) aren't accessible without a VPN — worth planning connectivity in advance
• Vegetarian food is available but requires some navigation outside major cities — our consultants can flag vegetarian-friendly restaurants along your route
• Travel insurance is recommended for all international trips
