Three Gorges Discovery - 12 days

Uncover the cities, sites and scenery of China on this magical journey. Beijing offers insights into the history and culture of this beguiling land, and vibrant Shanghai is a confounding mix of ancient and ultra modern. To witness the scale of the Great Wall, and the intricately carved Terracotta Warriors in person is simply astonishing, and the stunning views as you cruise down the spectacular Yangtze will take your breath away.

1.  Get to know the locals when you share a tasty, homemade lunch in a family home after a fun rickshaw ride through the busy alleyways.
2.  At Mutianyu, visit an impressive section of the Great Wall that is less frequented by tourists for a more authentic experience.
3.  Avoid the crowds on a half day trip to the ancient water town of Zhujiajiao to explore the fascinating backstreets and cruise the canal.

You have the benefit of our professional English-speaking local guides and when your departure reaches seven or more travellers you will also be accompanied by an expert Western tour leader. Their insight and knowledge means you can expect experiences no guidebook can offer, and you will be inspired by their passion. Having them accompany you for the entire journey means they can impart their vast knowledge and experience of the local culture and history and can answer any questions you may have.

Our style of travel is ideal for the solo traveller. You’ll meet like minded people, and always have someone to eat with at night. We even offer a ‘Willing to share’ option on all Classic Journeys so you don’t have to pay a single supplement. If we can’t match you with another ‘Willing to share’ traveller of the same sex, you get a single room at no extra cost! more info
