Let the magic of China be revealed to you through four dynamic and different cities.
Take a journey through four of China’s fabulous cities visiting Beijing, Xi’an, Shanghai, and Hong Kong over 10 spectacular days. Launch your adventure in Beijing, the country’s capital where ‘grand scale’ takes on a whole new meaning. China’s emperors had grand visions and took every measure to bring them to life. You’ll gain a deep appreciation of how they achieved this when you follow their steps through the Forbidden City, Temple of Heaven, Summer Palace, and Great Wall. An altogether different Beijing is found in the hutong, still home to local families and businesses, while the life of intellectuals past and present is evident at the Confucius Temple and Imperial College Museum. Climb aboard China’s next big thing, high speed train travel, on the vast and growing rail network that is working its way like a web across the country. Sit back, relax, and enjoy watching the changing face of China slip by at speeds up to 300 kilometers per hour. More empirical grandeur awaits when you discover the renowned Terracotta Army. Marvel at the ingenuity and tenacity of those tasked with creating the 8000 plus figures. Back this up with other Xi’an highlights: walk the City Wall, wander Muslim Quarter, visit the Great Mosque, and be sure to savor a famous Xi’an local food. From Xi’an you’ll fly to Shanghai, China’s legendary Paris of the East. Immerse yourself in the blend of European and Asian cultures evident here in the architecture, cuisine, and people. Walk the Bund, explore Yuyuan Garden, and lose yourself in XinTianDi and the former French Concession.
