Days 1-3 Beijing

The journey commences in one of the world's most impressive cities. Visit iconic sights such as Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City. Admire the impressive Great Wall up close and reflect on the enormity and history of this feat of ancient engineering. Take some free time for an independent exploration of Beijing's many sights including the Temple of Heaven or the Lama Temple. In the evenings consider catching an awe-inspiring acrobatic performance or feasting on traditional Peking duck.

Days 4-5 Xi'an

Uncover ancient history on a day trip to the Terracotta Warriors. Archaeologists believe followers of the First Emperor sculpted the 6,000 warriors and placed them in battle formation to protect him in the afterlife. Back in Xi'an, why not explore the walled city centre or even join the locals in their daily tai chi practise? Make new friends at Xi'an Huiling, meaning 'wise spirit', a special community project for people with disabilities.

Grab a bicycle to explore the serene surrounds of Suzhou, taking in the famous gardens, canals and alleyways of this charming town. Top off the experience with an evening performance of traditional music, opera and theatre among the trees and waterfalls of one of the gardens.

Days 7-9 Shanghai

Skyscrapers and colonial buildings vie for space on the Bund and in Pudong. Explore Shanghai's complex network of traditional alleyways and be absorbed by art exhibits in the world class Shanghai Museum. Perhaps snaffle a bargain at the Yuyuan Bazaar or get a taste of Europe in the French Concession.
