China
“The Middle Kingdom”, China is one of the world’s oldest and most complex civilisations covering a history of more than 5,000 years. Each area in China gives rise to its own set of unique cultures and traditions. A tour to China is hard to imagine as the experience is so different to any other holiday. The culture, country and landscapes are vast, and quickly change, in the space of a few days with a tailor-made tour you could find yourself in the Southern tropical provinces of Yunnan, crossing the provincial border to Sichuan to the border of Tibet with snow capped peaks and Tibetan monasteries.
Alternatively on a China tour a tailor made itinerary could see you travelling from the capital of Beijing and the Forbidden city, to Xian and the Teracotta Warriors. Take a cruise on the Yangtze river and why not finish the tour at the city of Shanghai.
