| Overview |
This tour is a great introduction to some of China's most famous historical sights, as well as some of the most beautiful natural wonders of China. We walk along the spectacular Great Wall of China, visit the Ming Tombs and see the pandas at the Panda Zoo. We explore the Forbidden City, Temple of Heaven, Summer Palace and Taianamen Square, and take a tour amongst the small alleyways of the old Hutongs of Beijing. In Xi'an we marvel at the Army of the Terracotta Warriors, before heading to Guilin and the breathtaking scenery along the Li River. From Kunming we see the amazing pinnacles and lime pillars of the Stone Forest, before wandering the streets of the ancient city of Lijang, a World Heritage Site. Our tour ends in the vibrant city of Shanghai, once known as the "Paris of the East" with its fascinating mix of old and modern architecture.
