When I was still a travel novice, I wanted to go to those places on the cover of magazines. The real beauty of the great rivers and mountains of the motherland that I witnessed with my own eyes must be different from the feeling when looking at the photos. If the place you go to is not beautiful enough, you will regret missing out on 1-2 precious private China tours travel opportunities that only come once a year.

No matter which of the above 10 major travel routes, for families who only have one travel opportunity a year, you will never regret going. Even if you don't spend money on scenic spots, the self-driving scenery along the way is enough to make people intoxicated and scream.
