Includes Beijing, Shanghai, Great Wall of China, Terracotta Warriors and more

This magnificent holiday offers the chance to discover the highlights of China's treasures in one holiday, from the ancient and mystical Chinese dynasties to the modern metropolises of Hong Kong and Beijing. Towering neon lit skyscrapers are juxtaposed with wooden junks, temples, palaces and unearthed treasures from thousands of years ago. Bustling harbours, compete with busy markets while vast mountain vistas vie for your attention over the allure or tranquil gardens and royal palaces.

The picturesque Hong Kong skyline is of Victoria Harbour and the waterfront on Hong Kong Island. Take the tram up to Victoria Peak on the Hills behind the Skyscrapers of Hong Kong Island for magnificent views. The iconic Star Ferry links Hong Kong Island to Kowloon where you can experience local life in the varied and separate street markets.

Shanghai is situated just over 900 miles away from Beijing and will give you a taste of China mixed with Historic British involvement - discover Ming Dynasty architecture at Jichang Garden or browse the designer boutiques of Nanjing Road. Shanghai is a fast, modern metropolitan area mixed with colonial and traditional Chinese architecture and has rapidly become one of the most popular cities in the world to visit. Also known as “Paris of the Orient”, this is a city to be walked, wandered, explored and discovered in your own style. Beijing has over 200 years of history having consistently been the capital of the Liao, Jin, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties.
