China, Tibet & the Yangtze River

May 29-June 16, 2013

Discover the classical highlights of this vaste and complex country including a special excursion to mystical Tibet on this distinctive 19-day tour.  Starting in Beijing, savor the capital’s legendary sites: Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City, the Temple of Heaven, and the Great Wall.  View the famed life-size army constructed of terra cotta in Xian. Spend three days in Lhasa, high in the Himalayas, exploring sacred temples and vast Potala Palace. Then board our Victoria Cruises ship at Chongqing for a three-night cruise on the Yangtze, one of the world’s longest and busiest rivers.  Witness daily life along its shores and see the spectacular Three Gorges and the much-heralded new dam.  Our tour concludes in Shanghai, a dazzling city that epitomizes 21st-century China.  Discover the European-influenced Bund and the renowned Shanghai Museum with its priceless collections. Also available is an optional 3-day/2-night post-tour “On Your Own” extension in Shanghai.
