Hi, Ron Ray,

Thanks for your enquiry for a 9 days China tour, covering Shanghai and Beijing in September.

If you have 9 days for the China tour, I suggest you visit at least 3 highlight cities, such as Shanghai, Xian and Beijing, then back to Shanghai for departure. If you spend 9 days in two cities, your tour will be too leisure. If you spend 9 days in 3 cities, you could see more in limited time.

Xian is one of the triangle tourism cities in China. Compared to the metroplis of Shanghai and capital city of Beijing, Xian is a historical city. It was capital of many dystinaties in Chinese history. Nowadays, it is famous for Qin Terracotta Army and Warriors, which is a great wonder in China and in the world.

September is the best time to visit China due to the best weather condition in autumn.

It is really nice to recommend you the tour as below for your reference,
Day01 Arrival in Shanghai in the morning. Our guide meet you at Shanghai Pudong Airport, and transfer to take a half day city tour in the morning. Then check in hotel after lunch and you will be free at leisure for the rest of the time.

Day02 Shanghai tour to a nearby watertown, such as Xitang or Wuzhen, back to Shanghai for overnight

Day03 Morning flight to Xian, visit Hanyangling Museum.

Day04 Day tour to visit Qin Terracotta Warrior, Banpo Neolithic Museum, Small Goose Pagoda

Day05 Half day city tour and take high speed train for Beijing.

Day06 Beijing city tour to visit Tiananmen Square, Forbidden City, Temple of Heaven

Day07 Beijing Great Wall Tour

Day08 Half Day City tour and afternoon high speed train for Shanghai.

Day09 Free at leisure and transfer to airport to catch your homebound flight.
