China was long regarded as the Oriental Dragon with the longest successive civilization in the world. Beijing, the capital city of China, once served as capital for five dynasties, particularly the Ming and Qing dynasties from 1368 to 1911. Compared with Beijing, Xi’an is the root of Chinese civilization, with more than 13 dynasties establishing their capitals there for more than 1100 years. Suzhou is well-known for its beautiful gardens. Shanghai is a booming metropolis with changing skyline every day, where East met West since 19 century.
Starting in Beijing we explore all the major places of interest, including the Forbidden City, Temple of Heaven and Summer Palace. We also visit a mostly unrestored and remote section of the Great Wall, allowing you to absorb the immenseness of this incredible structure without jostling for a position with thousands of other tourists. Xian is home to the world renowned 2,000-year-old Terracotta Warriors. After the historical relics in Xi’an, we will relax among the gardens in Suzhou. We will finish our trip in Shanghai, the largest city in China, once known as the “Paris of the East”.
