Summary
Explore Beijing, Xi’an and Shanghai over eleven days, with three nights aboard a Yangtze cruise from Chongqing to Yichang. Every journey can be tailored to you.
Start with the courtyards of imperial Beijing and the individual faces of Xi’an’s Terracotta Army. Then board in Chongqing and let the Yangtze set the pace for three nights, taking in the Three Gorges, visits ashore and life aboard the ship. In Shanghai, Yu Garden and the Bund bring a different view of China beside the water. City touring and transfers are private; cruise activities and shore visits are shared with the ship’s groups. We can tailor the journey around your dates and interests while keeping the cruise’s operating schedule in mind.
