Why It's a Deal We recently priced out this multicity itinerary on Kayak and found a $1,023 round-trip fare for travel in early January (Air China). For $151 more, including all taxes, this package includes airfare as well as eight nights' accommodations, sightseeing tours, and some meals. That breaks down to about $147 per person per night.

More You can add nights in Shanghai at the end of the trip—contact China Spree for a quote (rates vary greatly depending on departure dates).
