The Best of Shanghai, Xian & Beijing with Hong Kong add-on

China's famed sights might be the highlights on this epic tour. But it’s also about sipping jasmine tea in fragrant tea houses, uncovering age-old treasures and stepping into classical gardens with elaborate rockeries and ornamental ponds.

Hong Kong boasts a magnificent natural setting on the tip of the Chinese mainland. It is an intense, vibrant and colourful city of dramatic contrasts. Towering skyscrapers form the backdrop to the busy harbour, yet in the teeming alleys, street markets remain untouched by western influences. Hong Kong is the place to go for some serious shopping, and come evening, the city is ablaze with neon signs and its nightlife is legendary.
