China Experience

Experience a breadth of cultures, flavours and landscapes on this 19-day trip through China. Marvel at iconic attractions like the Great Wall, the Terracotta Warriors and the 71-m-tall World Heritage-listed Leshan Giant Buddha. Then, uncover the quieter side of the country with a cruise along the Yangtze River, a bike ride through the picturesque limestone karst landscapes of Yangshuo and a stay in a Buddhist monastery tucked into the mountains of Emei Shan. Dine on some of China’s most renowned (and spiciest) cuisine in Chengdu and then visit a research base dedicated to conserving giant pandas. Discover a land of epic history, lush countryside and dramatic vistas with a group of like-minded travellers and a knowledgeable local leader by your side.
