TOUR OVERVIEW

The China, Tibet & the Yangtze (2021) tour starts in Beijing and ends in Shanghai. The China, Tibet & the Yangtze (2021) is a cruise tour that takes 14 days taking you from Beijing to Shanghai and through other destinations in China.

Embrace the yin and yang of wonders old and new on this soul-enriching expedition.

Their names alone evoke the wonder and timeless allure of China: the Great Wall, Forbidden City, Temple of Heaven. Wide enough for cavalry to ride along its crest, stretching from the Yellow Sea to China’s eastern border, the Great Wall is one of China’s legends. In Xi’an, 8,000 life-size Terra-cotta Warriors stand in formation, facing the enemies of an emperor who died 2,200 years ago. The red and white walls of the Potala Palace rise massively above Lhasa, and the floor of the gold-domed Jokhang Temple has been worn smooth by centuries of pilgrims reverently prostrating themselves before a seventh-century Buddha. Experience all of this on an adventure that also encompasses Beijing’s imperial palaces and exquisite gardens, Shanghai’s towering skyscrapers and the ethereal landscape of the Yangtze’s Three Gorges.
