This trip gives you the opportunity of exploring one of the most dynamic minority group area in Yunnan as well as the ancient capitals in Xi’an and Beijing. We begin our trip in Kunming and go further to the heart of Yunnan, where you meet many different minority ethnic groups, including Bai people in Dali, Naxi people in Lijiang, and Tibetan people in Shangri-La. We travel by bus in Yunnan, and it’s a good opportunity to enjoy the sweeping panoramic views of areas featuring spectacular scenery. Walking on the old streets of Dali and Lijiang, you will be feasted by the local ethnic cultures. The trekking in Tiger Leaping Gorge will be an unforgettable experience in your life. We will have a cycling tour through the beautiful countryside field in Yangshuo, see the Chinese national treasures- pandas in Chengdu, and visit the 71-meter-high Buddha statue in Leshan. We continue our journey to Chongqing, and then enjoy a comfortable and pleasant cruise on the mighty Yangtze River with the stunning gorges and huge dam project. The awesome Terracotta Warriors in Xi’an will bring you back to the Qin Dynasty 2000 years ago. After the exploration in Shanghai, the cosmopolitan in China, we finish our journey in the capital, Beijing, home to the renowned Forbidden City and Great Wall.
