2010 China Panorama

Designed for those who tend to visit China only once in their life time, this 21-day tour covers all major highlights China has to offer: Beijing’s imperial Forbidden City and the Great Wall of China; Xian’s Terra-cotta Warriors; 4-night cruise on the fabled Yangtze River, sailing through the Three Gorges and touring the world’s largest dam. See Giant Pandas at Chongqing. You then fly to the subtropical Guilin – China’s scenic paradise, and indulge yourself in the stunning Li River cruise and enjoy an off-the-beaten-path exploration to Long Sheng’s minority villages and its famed Dragon Spine rice terraces. The tour also includes a short visit to Canton and a 3-night Hong Kong visit with optional Macau excursion to “The Vegas of the Orient”. Before your journey wraps up at Shanghai, China’s most vibrant metropolis, you also visit Suzhou - the canal-laced water town, renowned for the Grand Canal, classic Chinese gardens, and silk production. A side trip to Tongli is included to admire its cobble stone alleys and Ming & Qing courtyard residences.
