If
those who cannot find time for a longer tour this short but comprehensive programme has
proved itself again and again to be one of the ideal ways to gain a perfect introduction
to this fascinating country. Designed to total 14 days from point to point, it is long
enough to cover the major points of interest, while being short enough to persuade even
the most dedicated armchair travelers to pack their bags and explore the real thing.
Strike from north to south, we
travel from the modern capital of Beijing to the ancient capital of Xian, site of the
world reowned Terra-cotta Warriors of the first Qin Emperor. Then we fly east to the
Yangtse River Basin and the romantic port of Shanghai, with its European skyline and
bustling shopping districts, and take a day trip to the charming silk town of Suzhou on
the Grand Canal, where once again we step back in to China rich past.
After the speed of China largest
city, comes the tranquility and timeless beauty of Guilin-inspiration for some of China
greatest poets and painters. After our leisurely cruise through the fairytale landscapes,
we continue south to Canton, a warm exotic port at the very forefront of the changes that
are sweeping across China.
From here we board the express train to the
luxury and comfort of Hong Kong, stopping perhaps for one last time to taste that rare
delicacy so highly coveted by foreign visitors - Cantonese Snake Soup!
