Join us for an incredible 18-day journey that transports you from the electric energy of Hong Kong to the historic majesty of Beijing. This tour is a perfect blend of high-speed rail travel and immersive local experiences, taking you through five of China's most fascinating regions. You'll kick off your adventure by meeting your Adventure Leader in Hong Kong, catching the sunset from Victoria Peak, before travelling to the serene Yangshuo for bamboo rafting and biking among the breathtaking karst mountains.
