Summary

Iconic monuments & cultural legacies

Overflowing with history that spans back over 10,000 years, and with rich culture, visual arts and crafts, diverse landscapes, and incredible cuisine, China should be a ‘must-visit’ on every discerning traveller’s list. On this immersive tour, you’ll experience both the ancient and the modern as they combine to offer up a truly authentic and memorable adventure. Gaze upon the amazing architecture found within the country’s temple sites, explore the bamboo forest in the Mukeng Village and see the locations immortalised on film in the Oscar-winning “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon”, and after ascending to the Great Wall by cable car there’s a toboggan ride waiting to take you back down. After all, there’s no one way to explore China!
