Immerse yourself in the big city bustle and beauty of Beijing, Xi’an, and Shanghai, as you explore the highlights of China’s ‘Golden Ring’. Arrive at the modern capital Beijing and be prepared for serious bucket list action. From the moment the tour starts, you’ll find so much to admire: walk across Tiananmen Square, cross the many thresholds of the Forbidden City, marvel at the thoughtful design balancing the natural and built environment of the Summer Palace, and ascend the remarkable Jinshanling section of the Great Wall. Travel by high speed train to Xi’an and discover the awe and might of the famous Terracotta Army. Xi’an is a total contrast to its Golden Ring counterparts, finding distinction in its red lantern-lined streets, wonderful food, and diversity you’d expect as the launch point for the Silk Road. Fly from Xi’an to Shanghai and discover why this city retains its name as Paris of the East. Visit iconic landmarks like Yuyuan Garden and the Bund, but discover a surprising side to Shanghai too – and indeed, China – when you enjoy a private dining experience in a 1930s colonial villa and then watch in awe at the acrobatic prowess of local artists who showcase their skills in a spectacular show of performance arts.
