Private 2-Day Bullet Train Tour Reveals Ancient Pingyao’s Living History


A private two-day rail journey from Beijing offers travelers a comfortable and efficient way to reach the historic town of Pingyao in Shanxi Province, traveling by high-speed bullet train. Recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Pingyao is widely regarded as one of China’s best-preserved ancient walled cities, offering an immersive look into Ming and Qing Dynasty life.


Upon arrival, visitors are immediately introduced to the town’s remarkably intact historic environment, beginning with a walk along the Old City Wall of Pingyao. This centuries-old structure still encircles the town, providing a striking sense of scale and preservation that reflects its former strategic importance.


The guided tour continues with visits to key cultural and historical landmarks that once defined Pingyao as a financial hub of imperial China. These include traditional banking institutions that pioneered early Chinese finance, the Confucius Temple, which reflects the educational and philosophical traditions of the era, and the County Government Office (Yamun), where administrative and judicial affairs were historically conducted.


Across the two-day experience, travelers gain a deeper understanding of architecture, governance, and daily life from over two centuries ago. With its combination of high-speed travel and immersive cultural exploration, the journey offers a compact yet enriching escape from Beijing into one of China’s most atmospheric historical destinations.

Amy did an amazing job with my itinerary! She was super responsive and helpful with the many questions I had. I also want to give a shout-out to my amazing guides. Don in Tibet, Sanoj in Nepal, and Thukten and driver Naslam in Bhutan! All were incredible and made sure I was well taken care of. Their knowledge of their respective countries was super impressive, and I highly recommend all of you for travel to Tibet, Nepal, and Bhutan! Namaste!

After miss visiting Tibet for 2 times in previous occasions our Tibetan dream came true 100% due to the outstanding service provided by “Asia Odyssey” Travel company, particularly its staff “Nicole”. We were contacted immediately by Nicole just after we made an inquiry though their website. From that moment until we back home safely her close contact, communication, follow up, friendliness, politeness, punctuality, responsiveness, kindness, accuracy, positive attitude were unbelievable and unmatched. We always felt Nicole as a previously known person/ family member than an employee from a travel company. Her service was such personalized and we didn’t have to worry on a single matter and everything went super perfect. We don’t have enough words to praise her outstanding service we received and we believe she is such a rare gem for the company. We once again thank “Asia Odyssey” & “NICOLE” for taking care of us very well and offering us one of the most unforgettable memories of our life by coordinating a tour to Tibet. Once again thank you very much and we highly recommend this company & its staff (Specially Nicole 😊 ) to anyone who plans to travel to Tibet.

An Unforgettable Chengdu–Lhasa–Nepal Adventure with Asia Odyssey Travel We just returned from an incredible journey arranged by Asia Odyssey Travel, and I can’t recommend them highly enough—especially our wonderful travel consultant Noemi, based in Chengdu. Our trip began in Chengdu, a vibrant and clean city with amazing food. Visiting the panda base and seeing so many pandas up close was a total cuteness overload! From there, Noemi designed a thoughtful and well-paced itinerary that took us by train to Lhasa, across the stunning Tibetan plateau, and ended at the Nepal border. Securing soft sleeper train tickets to Lhasa is notoriously difficult, but Noemi kept us constantly updated and managed to get us the rare soft-bed cabins, which made the 36-hour ride comfortable and restful. Noemi stayed in touch with us throughout the trip, even arranging a personal handover of our Tibet Travel Permits and surprising us with birthday cakes and gifts. She offered to send us off at the train station, too—her dedication was amazing! All logistics were smoothly handled, and we truly didn’t need to worry about anything—just to follow their excellent advice for coping with high altitude. We took Rhodiola rosea (Hong Jing Tian) or Diamox, stayed hydrated, and followed the tip to avoid showering on our first day in Lhasa and rest instead. It really helped! Hotels were clean, comfortable, and spacious, with in-room oxygen available. Our vehicle also carried portable oxygen canisters, which gave us peace of mind. In Tibet, our guide Nomad and driver were excellent—always on time, knowledgeable, and kind. Nomad even acted as our photographer and helped us explore authentic Tibetan cuisine based on our preferences. The highlight of the trip? Without a doubt, seeing Mount Everest at Base Camp as the clouds parted—an unforgettable, bucket-list moment. After crossing the border into Nepal (end of the Asia Odyssey portion), we arranged our own car to Kathmandu, which involved a bit of bargaining, but the rest of the journey was seamless thanks to their thorough planning and support. This trip was more than a vacation—it was a truly memorable and deeply supported journey. Thank you, Noemi and Asia Odyssey Travel! We wouldn’t hesitate to travel with you again for any future China adventure.
