2008: China's Cultural Delights - Beijing to Shanghai
This 16-day journey explores China's cradle of culture with a 10-day cruise on the Yangtze all the way from Chongqing to Nanjing. You still see all the wonders of Beijing, Xian and Shanghai, but on this cruise, you uncover the roots of Chinese civilization from Jingdezhen, birthplace of porcelain; to Mt. Jiu Hua's remote Buddhist Temple complex; to Nanjing, former capital of ancient China; and Suzhou with its famed gardens. This journey is for those who want to really understand the origins of Chinese culture.
