China Highlights By World Journeys
Explore China’s highlights on this 14 day journey. You’ll begin in Beijing and be mesmerised by the Great Wall, ancient temples and palaces, as well as seeing the locals in the backstreet hutongs by rickshaw. Move on to Xi’an to marvel at the archaeological discovery of the century, the Terracotta Warriors – more than 2,000 years old, interred with the Emperor Qin Shi Huang.
Visit the Banpo Museum, with its extraordinary 6,000 year old village remains. At Guilin, enjoy a spectacular cruise down the meandering and picturesque Li River. Here the breathtaking scenery of jagged mist-covered mountains, quaint villages that dot the riverbanks, fishermen aboard bamboo rafts and grazing water buffalo make for some classic photographs. Try Longjing green tea at a tea plantation in beautiful Hangzhou and visit Suzhou, famous for its classic gardens and often called ‘Oriental Venice.’ Complete the journey with a stay in the wonderfully vibrant city of Shanghai – where ancient meets modern.
This itinerary can be tailor-made, with the number of days, places visited, and activities varied to suit you.
