Yangtze & Beyond - Deluxe - 18 days

China has so much to discover, from the thronging cities of Shanghai and Beijing to the cobbled streets of Yangshuo. Icons such as the Terracotta Warriors and Great Wall are not to be missed, but a sojourn into backstreets and local homes is a real treat. A cruise along the Yangtze reveals soaring mountains and tranquil rivers. On this journey, the ancient culture of this historic land offers up incredible relics and fascinating insights, and natural wonders provide breathtaking scenery.

1.  Uncover the intriguing world of Chinese traditional medicine from the local experts and experience a relaxing reflexology treatment for yourself.
2.  On the peaceful banks of the Li River near Yangshuo get a hands-on Tai Chi lesson from a professional local instructor.
3.  Visit the Propaganda Poster Arts Centre, a private museum collection which offers an insight into Mao’s rule and how poster art was used to convey political messages.
