Tour: China Panorama
Duration: 14 Days
Cost: $2,715 USD

Start your China adventure in Beijing, the country’s capital. You will be amazed by the ancient city’s modern façade. Continue on to Xian and take in thousands of terracotta warriors, built to look after a Qin Dynasty emperor. Guilin, Longsheng and Yangshuo offer you a beautiful respite from the country’s busy cities; relax on a boat trip and cycle through lush rice paddies. Shanghai is one of the world’s most exciting cities and a great place to culminate your journey through the Middle Kingdom.


Itinerary:

Day: Description:
1-4 Beijing
Arrive in Beijing and explore her fascinating back streets by rickshaw, where you will get to meet a local family for lunch in their home and see an age-old ritual at the Drum Tower. A picnic at the Great Wall at Mutianyu, a wander through the Forbidden City and Summer Palace, and a view of the 2008 Olympic Games sites are sure to fascinate.
5-6 Xian
The Terracotta Warriors are Xian’s crowning glory, but you will also make memories in the colourful Muslim Quarter and pagodas, and enjoy delicious regional cuisine. Take some time atop the ancient city walls and see the Big Goose Pagoda, as well as Calligraphy Street.
7 Guilin & Longsheng
Fly to Guilin and take in the beautiful limestone mountains set on the banks of the Li River, an inspiration to poets and painters for centuries. An evening walking tour of Guilin will help introduce you to Center Square and the Night Market.
8-9 Yangshuo
Cruise the picturesque Li River. You can cycle through Yangshuo’s verdant rice paddies and absorb this quaint town’s atmosphere and culture as well. You will have plenty of free time to soak up your surrounds. Enjoy a Tai Chi lesson with a local master to get an understanding of this centuries-old tradition.
10-12 Shanghai & Zhujiajiao
In Shanghai experience the regal Bund on a walking tour, as well as ultra-modern Pudong. The Old Quarter has thankfully been preserved and offers you a glimpse into the China of old. Prepare to be amazed by an acrobatics performance, and relax into a day-trip to the canal town of Zhujiajiao.
