The energy and excitement of these great cities in China is hard to describe, as is the serenity of a landscape dominated by bamboo and rice terraces. Open yourself to the wonder and magnificence of this dynamic blend of old and new China while enjoying the region’s finest cuisine and luxury accommodations. Experience the true variety of China with the electric mix of the past and the future in Shanghai. Allow Guilin’s gorgeous terrain to inspire you as it has moved poets and painters for centuries. You’ll discover that history classes never offered the wealth of fascinating cultural lessons that you’ll uncover in Kunming, Dali, Lijiang, Zhongdian and Sanya. Every moment of your journey opens your eyes and your mind to new horizons and fresh perspectives.
