Watch China’s history and culture unfold during this incredible adventure, which ranges from the imperial splendor of Beijing to the dynamism of Shanghai, and from the archaeological wonders of Xi’an to the majesty of the Yangtze’s Three Gorges. Feel the presence of over 2,000 years of history as you walk along the Great Wall or stand at the entranceway to the Forbidden City. Get an up-close view of ancient Beijing while riding in a rickshaw for a behind-thescenes tour of the Hutongs, Beijing’s ancient residential lanes, and then compare this with the modern-day wonders that are the legacy of the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics. Watch the antics of the giant pandas while in Chongqing before embarking on your Yangtze River Cruise.
