Tian'anmen Square, Summer Palace, The Great Wall, Terracotta WarriorsAncient & Modern Group Tour

A short but exciting tour visits three of China’s most spectacular cities.

Your tour will begin in the city of Beijing. The sights here (including the Great Wall of China) place Beijing as one of the most invigorating tourist destinations in the world. Xi’an has a separate and unique ambience. It's heritage is uniquely preserved and the Terracotta Warriors are arguably the most breathtaking sight in China today. Then to Shanghai, a city evolving with a pace unmatched by any other in the world. Named ’the Paris of the East’ a combination of modern city life along with timeless images found in Yuyuan Gardens will ensure you experience a balanced view of China’s second city.
