Take in the futuristic skyline, stroll the Bund or grab a bargain at the bustling Yuyuan Bazaar. Perhaps stop by the Shanghai Museum and delve deeper into China's storied history. Days 3-4 WatertownLeave the bright lights of Shanghai behind and step back in time in Xitang. Visit ancient villas and stroll alongside the many canals that crisscross the town. Explore the well-preserved Ming and Qing dynasty buildings and absorb the old-world atmosphere. Days 5-6 Xi'anWith a plethora of historical sites and all conveniences of a big city, Xi'an is a place of contrasts. Explore the Muslim Quarter and Great Mosque or taste exotic food from busy street stalls. Leave time for an optional visit to China's ancient Terracotta Warriors, lined up with extraordinary military precision. Cycle or walk the city walls and take in the views from the top of the Bell or Drum towers. Days 7-8 PingyaoThe walled city of Pingyao offers a rare glimpse into the architecture of imperial China. Spend the day exploring the temples, houses and museums of this former commercial centre. Perhaps take a calligraphy class or indulge in a relaxing massage. Days 9-12 Beijing/Great WallChina's grand city of Beijing is overflowing with both ancient and modern sights. Stroll across Tiananmen Square, explore the Forbidden City, wander through the maze of hutongs and give bargaining skills a workout at the many markets.
