Essence of China 22 Days
To experience the essence of China, you need to immerse yourself in the many facets of this diverse land from browsing in Beijings markets, to being awestuck by the Hanging Monastery near Datong, to hiking amongst the Longi rice terrances. We also visit Pingyao, a charming medieval town, and Luoyang, gateway to the Shaolin Temple and Longmen Grottoes. An inspection of the worldfamous Terracotta Warriors in Xian is a must, while frenetic Shanghai sweeps us off our feet. We explore the canals of the sleepy town of Wuzhen and ride bikes through the stunning landscape of limestone karsts around Yangshuo. Vibrant Hong Kong shows us the face of modern China and is a great place to end our epic adventure.
