China Highlights
Beijing/Xi’an/Guilin/Shanghai or Hong Kong - from £1588
This tour highlights the main attractions of a tour of China for travellers who are pressed for time, but still would like to embrace the essence of China - its civilisation, natural beauty and hospitality.
Whilst in Beijing, excursions include the awe-inspiring Great Wall, an unrivaled accomplishment for mankind and the majestic Tiananmen Square, the largest public square in the world.
Xi’an offers you the marvellous and astonishing Terracotta Warriors unearthed in 1979 after being interred for 2,000 years. They give an insight into the fascinating ancient Chinese history and civilisation and are described by travellers as “a moving experience”. Xi’an allows you to touch and feel the very heart of Ancient China.
Guilin shows you yet another face of China. A small city with everything in easy reach, it is endowed with natural beauty acknowledged by all Chinese as “The best under the sky”! Cruise down the Li River and you won't dispute it.
At the end of the tour, you will also have a choice to go to Shanghai or Hong Kong. Located in the middle of China's coast, Shanghai has witnessed a series of important events in modern Chinese history. As a consequence, it boasts many sites and cultural relics as well as the largest commercial entrepot. Packed full with shops, modern department stores and fashionable boutiques, Shanghai has it all. Extra nights in Shanghai or Hong Kong are available on request.
Visit four cities, see four distinct Chinas! Common to all is the hospitality of friendly people whoever you meet. You will be treated as an honoured guest, and welcomed any time.
