Experience a breadth of cultures, flavours and landscapes on this 19-day trip through China
  • Take in the iconic scenery of the Yangtze River as you sail through the dramatic Three Gorges on a three-day cruise.
  • Hike through the misty forests of Emei Shan for a stay in a monastery, where you’ll wake to the sound of drums and prayers in the morning Buddhist ritual.
  • Get up close to giant pandas in Chengdu and learn about the work being done to preserve this ancient species.
  • Cycle through the Chinese countryside against backdrops that look straight out of a painting, like the striking limestone karsts of Yangshuo.
  • Zip through the country from north to south on its efficient high-speed rail network and experience world-class wonders, from the ancient Great Wall and Terracotta Warriors to the skyline and night markets of Hong Kong.
Stay in hotels, noting mattresses may be firm, non-smoking rooms are uncommon and Wi-Fi is often only in reception or sometimes rooms. Spend a night in a basic twin-share monastery with shared bathrooms, and enjoy twin-share cabins with private facilities during the multi-day Yangtze river boat.
