China was long regarded as the Oriental Dragon with the longest successive civilization in the world. Shanghai is a booming metropolis with changing skyline every day, where East met West since 19 century. Zhujiajiao is one of the most beautiful watertown in South China. 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. Beijing, the capital city of PRC, once served as capital for five dynasties, particularly the Ming and Qing dynasties from 1368 to 1911.
Starting in Shanghai with the walking along the Bund and own exploration of Yuyuan Garden, then go to enjoy the popular watertown Zhujiajiao. Fly to Xi’an, which is home to the world renowned 2,000-year-old Terracotta Warriors. Beijing is the last destionation, where we explore all the major places of interests, including the Forbidden City and Temple of Heaven. 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.
