Great Wall of China
In Beijing, capital of China, you can explore the crowded streets and marvel at the Forbidden City, before heading north to wander along the snake-like Great Wall of China and hear stories of horsemen invading from the north.

Kung Fu & Caves
Song Shan is the spiritual home of Kung Fu. You will be amazed at the strength and agility of the Shaolin monks - who can balance on one finger. You continue your trip to the thousands of statues at the Longmen Caves.

Terracotta Warriors
From Xian you’ll visit the amazing Terracotta Warriors, whose serried ranks served Emperor Qin, the first emperor of China over 2000 years ago. Seeing the warriors lined up is truly awe-inspiring.

Pandas, Terraces & Rural Communities
You fly to Chengdu and visit the Panda Breeding and Research Centre, vital to the survival of this endangered animal. Your trip continues to Guilin and Yangshuo, set amongst spectacular limestone scenery and dramatic rice terraces and where you can enjoy many different activities.
