For the visitor who is making their first trip to China, there is no
finer introduction to the country than this best selling three week tour, which follows
much the same route as our 'Classic China', but with a slightly slower pace, and that
little bit extra depth.
Once again we begin our journey
at the forbidden city, and move on to Xi'an. From here we fly to Nanjing, the 'Southern
Capital', where we can experience the great size and majesty of China's mightiest river -
the Yangtse. We spend a full day in and around the former capital before boarding our
first Chinese train to Wuxi on the Grand Canal. After lunch at the picturesque Lake Tai,
we journey back in time with a leisurely cruise along the 1300 - year - old canal to the
enchanting garden city and silk centre of Suzhou.
We have enough time to enjoy the
whole of the next day in this picturesque town, which Marco Polo first visited in 1276,
from its beautiful gardens to its fascinating silk houses, and its network of canals.The
following day takes us to Shanghai, where once again we have two nights to experience the
thrill of the former European concession.
This leisurely pattern is repeated in Guilin and
Canton, with two nights in each city, affording us ample time to visit the most popular as
well as the more unusual sites, before we once again board the express train for Hong
Kong.
