“China, a destination that beckons travellers from all corners of the globe, may seem daunting to explore. However, our small group tour in May 2024 will unlock the treasures of these treasures of this captivating country with ease and in excellent company.
Our adventure begins in Shanghai, the gateway to modern China, where old and new seamlessly blend. Amble along the Bund, marvel at the futuristic skyline on the opposite bank of the Huangpu River and the impressive colonial-era architecture on this side. From Shanghai we venture via historic water villages to Hangzhou, renowned for its serene West Lake and lush landscapes and gardens. This city radiates tranquillity and harmony, making it an ideal refuge from urban hustle and bustle.
Continuing southward, we arrive in Guilin, where the paradisiacal Li River awaits. Drift along this scenic waterway, passing dramatic limestone karsts, verdant forests, and traditional fishing villages. This picturesque journey will leave you breathless and inspired.
A visit to China would be incomplete without witnessing the awe-inspiring Terracotta Army, an archaeological wonder from antiquity. Many say it exemplifies one man’s vanity, but when you are the Emperor and considered a god, then you act like one.
Our tour concludes in Beijing, the very heart of China. Among the treasures awaiting are the Forbidden City, the embodiment of China’s imperial history, and the Temple of Heaven. However, it is the Great Wall, an impressive testament to human ingenuity, that will cast a shadow over all the wonders encountered thus far in this land of marvels.”
