It's back: UTO Vacation has just launched a Black Friday flash sale on its 8-night China package for $299 per person — the lowest price we've seen, which includes your flights as well as hotels, tours and transfers, and it's exclusive to Travelzoo members.

"How can they do that?" you're asking. 

UTO partners with the local government to help cover costs, making China more accessible and easier on the wallet while freeing you from the hassle of mapping out an international trip on your own. If China’s been on your list, this is your chance to make it happen — you'll tour some of the world’s most enduring landmarks for less than the price of flights alone.

So, what does that $299 get you?

• Roundtrip flights to Beijing, return from Shanghai (see departure cities below)
• Domestic flight from Beijing to Shanghai 
• 8 nights at 4-star hotels throughout with daily breakfast
• Sightseeing tours of the Great Wall, Lanli Garden, Garden of Master of the Nets and West Lake
• Shopping trips to a silk-spinning factory, pearl center and tea shop
• English-speaking guide throughout
• Airport transfers

What's not included:

• Chinese visa, which can be arranged hassle-free via UTO for $230 or applied for independently
• Mandatory gratuities of $180 that can be paid prior to departure by credit card or upon arrival in cash

When you can go: October-December 2020 or February-May 2021; surrounding dates are also discounted, starting at $50 more

Depart from New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Jose or Seattle for $299, based on double occupancy. Single supplement is +$350.

Departures from Boston, Chicago, Houston, Miami, Philly, D.C. and 15 additional cities are $300-$500 more per person.

A limited number of seats is available for each departure date — we suggest booking soon. You can secure your booking with a $99 deposit.
