Join Tom and Joy from Ludicrous Feed as they document a family holiday across China, beginning in Beijing with visits to iconic landmarks like Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City, and the Temple of Heaven, followed by a walk along the Mutianyu Great Wall, a hutong rickshaw ride, and the vibrant Panjiayuan Night Market; the journey continues via high-speed rail to Xi'an to explore the Terracotta Warriors, cycle the ancient city wall, and wander the Muslim Quarter, before heading to Chengdu to meet the famous giant pandas and experience the massive New Century Global Centre; from there, they travel to Chongqing for a city tour including the unique Liziba Station, bustling Jiefangbei Pedestrian Street, and the illuminated Hongya Cave, before flying to Shanghai to visit Yuyuan Garden, enjoy a Bund river cruise, explore Tianzifang and the Shanghai Museum, and wrap up their China travel vlog with reflections on culture, food, transport, and family experiences across some of the country’s most dynamic destinations. This travel diary highlights family moments, efficient rail travel, and iconic landmarks that define a ten day loop from north to east through China.
This is Ludicrous Feed's whirlwind 10-day family tour across China, and the editor has stitched together their most vivid moments. Tom and Joy start in Beijing, where their private tour guide navigates the epic queues at Tiananmen Square (world's largest public square) and the Forbidden City. At the Temple of Heaven, they spot a 600-year-old tree. The Great Wall at Mutianyu is tackled via gondola and a surprisingly civilized marble walkway—though that climb back up is no joke. A rickshaw ride through the chaotic hutong alleyways and the Panjiayuan Night Market (think Antiques Roadshow meets street food) give them a taste of old Beijing. <br><br>They then board China's high-speed rail, where Tom orders food via QR code and Alipay, and arrives in Xi'an. Here, the Terracotta Warriors are a highlight—Tom even makes his own clay soldier. Cycling the ancient city wall on rickety rental bikes for $9 AUD is a must-do, and the Muslim Quarter delivers sensory overload with its food stalls.<br><br>In Chengdu, the panda base is like a five-star resort for the bears. Watching them wrestle and munch bamboo is pure joy. Tom is amazed by the massive New Century Global Centre, a party zone with a water park. Then to Chongqing for the famous Liziba Station, where a metro train passes through an apartment building. The cyberpunk vibe peaks at Hongya Cave, an 11-story waterfall of neon-lit restaurants.<br><br>Finally, Shanghai. The Bund river cruise, Yuyuan Garden, and the Shanghai Museum's 5,000-year-old jade artifacts cap off the trip. Tom reflects that the $115,000 AUD tour cost was amazing value, covering all transfers, tickets, and guides. Joy's top tip? Pre-order a SIM card, set up WeChat and Alipay, and always carry toilet paper—because squat toilets are real. Their highlight? Tom loved Chongqing's chaos; Joy is still dreaming of pandas.
Join Ludicrous Feed on an unforgettable 10-day family odyssey across China, from Beijing's ancient wonders to Chengdu's playful pandas and Chongqing's cyberpunk streets, ending in glittering Shanghai. This whirlwind tour is packed with local eats, high-speed rail adventures, and moments that will make you fall in love with China.
A 10-day family tour through Beijing, Xi'an, Chengdu, Chongqing, and Shanghai, featuring Great Wall hikes, Terracotta Warriors, pandas, and vibrant city life.
