Newmarket Holidays has launched a new escorted tour of China and is marking the milestone with a limited-time saving of up to 15% across its entire Asia range, including India, Japan and Southeast Asia.

Highlights of China with Yangtze Cruise is a 16-day adventure combining world-famous sights, immersive cultural experiences and high-speed rail travel. The itinerary links Beijing, Xi'an, Chengdu, Chongqing, Suzhou and Shanghai without the need for internal flights, allowing guests to travel more comfortably while taking in China's ever-changing landscapes.

The activity-packed tour includes the Great Wall of China, Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City, Temple of Heaven, and the Summer Palace in Beijing; the Terracotta Warriors in Xi'an; and Suzhou's Lingering Garden and ancient canal district. In Chengdu, guests will tour the celebrated Panda Research Centre, dedicated to the conservation of the giant panda.

A three-night Yangtze River cruise reveals the more tranquil side of the country, showcasing the dramatic Three Gorges and riverside life along China's longest river. Additional experiences include a traditional Chinese tea ceremony, led by a skilled tea master.

Prices start from £3,260 per person, including the 15% discount available on all new Asia bookings made between 23–31 October 2025. The package includes return flights from seven UK airports (including London, Birmingham, Manchester, Newcastle and Glasgow), 33 meals, 28 excursions and visits, and four high-speed rail journeys, with departures available from October 2026 and throughout 2027.
