China’s Four Elements: Beijing, Xi’an, The Yangtze And Shanghai tour starts and ends in Beijing. China’s Four Elements: Beijing, Xi’an, The Yangtze And Shanghai is an art and architecture tour that takes 11 days taking you from Beijing, China and through other destinations in Asia.

Famous in China and beyond, the Yangtze River is the longest river in Asia and the third longest in the world. Much like the other Chinese icon – The Great Wall – the Yangtze not only traverses a great distance but also attracts countless visitors each year. As one of the highlights of China’s vast and diverse natural landscape, the Yangtze offers a gentle pace much at odds with the often frenetic flow of modern Chinese cities such as Beijing and Shanghai. Experience this contrast and come to appreciate just some of the many facets of the Chinese nation with nights in modern Shanghai, the mix of old and new in Beijing and the ancient and enchanting Xi’an. From world class nightlife to ancient history, the appeal of modern day China grows by the day.
