Discover China’s most renowned imperial treasures and
travel along the legendary Yangtze River as we take you on this
journey from Beijing to Shanghai. While you cruise the mighty river,
you’ll marvel at the mystical scenery of Asia's most revered and
dramatic natural attractions: the spectacular Qutang and Wu Gorges,
and Three Gorges Dam. In Beijing, you’ll explore the site of pomp and
pageantry at Tiananmen Square, and ponder the mysteries of the
Forbidden City, historic home of the imperial family. Tour the elegant
grounds of the Summer Palace and stroll the ramparts of the fabled
Great Wall. Among China’s most unforgettable sights is Xian’s terra
cotta army, an awe-inspiring group of over 6,000 life-size clay
soldiers, chariots and armored horses, unearthed from their burial.
