Magic, Adventure & Discovery.

From Disney storytelling to mountain adventure and blockbuster worlds, each stop brings something completely different to the family - and each is planned around how they will actually want to spend the day.

Where Life Happens Between the Landmarks

Beyond the icons is another side of China - small cafés behind garden walls, discreet boutiques, galleries inside former factories, lakeside tea houses and evenings on the water.

MR99 keeps this part of the journey deliberately loose, following the neighbourhoods, tables, exhibitions and places that feel worth staying for.

The New Left Bank

Shanghai

Coffee behind a garden wall. A boutique with no sign. This is Shanghai now.
Tree-lined streets and old villas are giving way to tiny cafés, independent fashion, bookstores, design stores and discreet boutiques - creating a neighbourhood increasingly reminiscent of Paris's Left Bank.
There is no single attraction. The pleasure is in wandering, finding something you did not know to look for, and staying longer than planned.

Where China Built Its Legacy

From Shanghai's historic waterfront to the monumental architecture of imperial Beijing, these are places that still explain how China saw the world - and how it saw itself.

Shopping

From Made in China to the World's Most Wanted.

From collectible toys and playful finds to destination retail and some of China's strongest luxury shopping, the range is part of the experience.

01

Welcome to Shanghai

Arrive in Shanghai and take the day at your own pace. Settle in, enjoy an easy first dinner and get a first glimpse of the skyline - no sightseeing list, just time for the family to properly arrive.

02

Old Shanghai, New Skyline

Begin at Yuyuan Garden, a Ming-dynasty classical garden hidden in the heart of modern Shanghai. Later, head to the Bund and board a private yacht on the Huangpu River - historic architecture on one side, Pudong's futuristic skyline on the other.

Shanghai - days 1 and 2
03

The New Left Bank

Spend time in Shanghai's most lived-in lifestyle neighbourhoods - old villas, tiny cafés, independent boutiques, bookshops and Chinese design tucked along tree-lined streets. Later, stop at The Louis, Louis Vuitton's ship-shaped Shanghai landmark, home to the Visionary Journeys exhibition, boutique and Le Café Louis Vuitton.

04

Disney, with a Shanghai Original

Give Shanghai Disney Resort the full day it deserves. The world's first Zootopia-themed land makes Shanghai genuinely different even for families who know Disney well, with Premier Guide, dining and selected VIP arrangements considered where available.

Shanghai - days 3 and 4
05

Come for the Candy.
Leave with a Labubu.

Explore Nanjing Road through its more playful side - from the POP MART flagship and collectible culture to M&M'S Shanghai, candy, merchandise and plenty of things nobody planned to buy. Keep the rest of the day deliberately light.

06

Luxury, Shanghai Style

See two very different sides of Shanghai shopping. Shanghai IFC brings together leading international fashion, jewellery and watch houses, while Taikoo Li Qiantan combines luxury with open-air streets, restaurants, wellness and all-day lifestyle.

Shanghai - days 5 and 6
07

Road to Hangzhou

Leave Shanghai for Hangzhou by private car, allowing the transition from metropolis to Jiangnan landscape to become part of the journey. Settle in, then spend the later afternoon around Lingyin Temple and the ancient Buddhist carvings of Feilai Feng.

08

A Day on West Lake

Experience West Lake from the water, then slow the pace with lakeside walks, tea and time to enjoy the landscape. Return after dark for Impression West Lake, when music, light and performance unfold directly on the lake.

Hangzhou - days 7 and 8
09

From Underground Rivers
to Mountain Thrills

Drive into Tonglu for a full day at OMG Park, where the experience moves from karst caves and underground waterways to mountain rides and outdoor adventure. A particularly strong day for older children and teenagers.

10

On to Beijing

Fly from Hangzhou to Beijing. Keep this as a genuine travel day - arrive, settle in and enjoy a relaxed evening rather than trying to squeeze in another major experience.

Hangzhou - days 9 and 10
11

Beijing, Still Creating

Discover 798 Art District and UCCA, where former industrial buildings now house contemporary art, galleries, studios and creative spaces. It is Beijing beyond its historic monuments - current, cultural and still evolving.

12

The Address of 24 Emperors

Step inside the Forbidden City, the political and ceremonial centre of imperial China for almost five centuries. Focus on the spaces and stories worth understanding, then continue to Jingshan for the view that reveals the palace complex from above.

Beijing - days 11 and 12
13

The Great Wall

Spend a full day at Mutianyu, where the Great Wall follows the mountain ridges into the distance. Cable-car access makes the experience comfortable across generations, leaving plenty of time to walk, stop and take in the scale.

14

Universal, Reimagined for Beijing

A full day at Universal Beijing Resort, including experiences created specifically for China such as its Kung Fu Panda and Transformers worlds. VIP guided access can be arranged, helping the family spend more time inside the worlds they care about most.

Beijing - days 13 and 14
15

When More Really Is More

Leave a proper day for Beijing SKP, one of China's leading luxury shopping destinations, bringing together hundreds of international names across fashion, jewellery, watches, beauty, childrenswear and home. Finish the journey with a long final dinner in Beijing.

16

Until Next Time

Enjoy a slow breakfast and private transfer to the airport. Or continue with Extend Your Journey - from Hong Kong and Chengdu to Nantong, Guangzhou or a wellness retreat.

Beijing - days 15 and 16
