Aside from our extensive list of group and independent tours to China YPT also offer regional packages to the most popular areas, as well as slightly more obscure bespoke China Tours.
Many of these link to their own pages with more information, if they do not please get in touch to plan your China tour with YPT.
Tibet Tours
The first destination that YPT offered after the DPRK and one which prior to Covid was a yearly favourite. One that we have brought back as a group tour, as well as being able to offer independently. You can check our dedicated Tibet page here as well as some of our favourite places.
Xinjiang Tours
Another pre-Covid favourite for our Pioneers that has very much been resurrected. We can offer this individually, as a special interest, or combined with various countries within the region. You can check our dedicated Xiniang page here as well as our personal experience and view on it.
Ordos and Kangbashi Tours
Young Pioneer Tours were the first company to offer tours to Kangbashi and Ordos and have not only taken journalists here, but also filmed movies. When it comes to Ordos YPT are the experts and can offer bespoke Kangbashi tours throughout the year. You can check our dedicated page here.
North Korean Borderlands Tours
Formerly one of our most underrated but popular tours. This trip offers a rare glimpse into North Korea through its long border with China. Currently, this is the closest you will get to visiting the DPRK. Borderlands trips cover a set itinerary although this can be adapted for your personal needs.
Red China Tours
With its extremely unique and intense communist history perhaps nowhere can beat the PRC when it comes to so called red tourism. We currently offer one tour per year, as well as the chance to do bespoke tour.
China Overland Tour
In 2019 YPT designed the perfect circular overload tour around China taking in all the main sites, as well as YPT specialties. This tour is perfect for school and student groups and can be in its entirety, or in part.
City Break/North Korea Tour extensions
As part of our North Korean Tour program, YPT can offer a number of city breaks as part of a combo with the country. These include, but are not limited to, Beijing, Xian and Shanghai. And if none of these match your preference, YPT can arrange a bespoke trip that incorporates what you want to do in China with North Korea. You find the extension overview here.
Dandong China Tours
With many of our North Korea tours originating and ending in the city of Dandong, this makes it the perfect place to check out either individually, or as part of a DPRK Tour. You can check out our guided Dandong Tours page here.
China – South Korea Combo Tours
YPT can arrange tours that originate in either China, or South Korea before utilizing ferry between the Republic of Korea and the People’s Republic of China. These can further be incorporated with our North Korea and Dandong Tours.
China – Vietnam Combo Tours
With a long shared border and history, combining a tour of Vietnam with China is an excellent option for those wishing to see the two countries. Click the link to see our Vietnam tours.
China – Mongolia Combo Tours
With the Trans-Mongolian train connecting China conveniently with Mongolia, we will embark on an adventure that leads us from the Great Wall to the Gobi Desert, and the historic figure of Genghis Khan. During their terrible but fascinating conquests, the Mongols created the largest empire ever to exist. Don’t miss out on our other Mongolia Tours as well.
China – Kyrgyzstan Combo Tours
Archaeological heritage in ancient cities, stunning nature, the magic of the history of the Silk Road. Come with us on this truly unique tour as we explore the obvious but also the lesser seen parts of Urumqi, Kashgar, Cholpon-Ata, and beyond. We know what´s really going on in these far away places in Central Asia. Don´t miss out on our other Kyrgyzstan Tours as well.
Pamir Highway Tour – China and Tajikistan
The Pamir Highway, known as M41 during the Soviet times, was the very route that was a vital part of the ancient Silk Road. The very same path that Marco Polo travelled and what connected many mighty civilisations and empires. On our Pamir Highway tour, we will take you through the most impressive, remotest, and wildest mountain ranges in the world. Don´t miss out on our other Tajikistan Tours as well.
Karakoram Highway Tour – Pakistan to China
Join Young Pioneer Tours as we embark on the ultimate road trip, the Karakoram Highway, regarded as one of the best journeys in the world. Your tour will take you across northern Pakistan to China’s most northwestern locations. You’ll follow in the footsteps of weary travellers from the ancient Silk Roads and witness new empires and their allies emerging in modern times.
