Mark Gray says:

Tour Leader...He made this tour. His friendliness, courtesy and professionalism were more than excellent. His spoken English was excellent, he had a great sense of humour and a very relaxed manner which made the 3 people on this tour very relaxed too. Li Xiangan was an amazing person and we feel he became a friend on this tour rather than a tour leader. He went the extra mile in obtaining hard to get tickets for an optional activity and confirming our transfers at the end of the tour. Above all he had the highest regards for our safety and enjoyment throught out the whole tour. His pride in the natural beauty and cultural heritage of China shone through. We felt that he was an absolute asset to Kumuka holidays and an incredible ambassador for his Country. This tour was exactly as described in the brouchure a real "Contrast of China." We would highly recommend this tour to friends particularly if they were considering the shorter 3 city 8 day option - "Highlights of China."
 The Great Wall, Terracotta Warriors and Pandas were our original reason for booking this tour. However, we were not prepared for the amazing sights in the Yunnan Province e.g. the Stone Forest, 3 Pagodas, Lijang Old Town and the Snow Jade Mountain.The 14 day "Contrasts of China" tour was exactly that and we would highly recommend it to anybody. We had an exceptional national tour leader and excellent local tour leaders throughout the holiday which made all the difference to our enjoyment of the tour.Thank you Kumuka.

Introduction: This tour is a great introduction to some of China’s most famous historical sights, as well as some of the most beautiful natural wonders of China. We walk along the spectacular Great Wall of China, visit the Ming Tombs and see the pandas at the Panda Zoo. We explore the Forbidden City, Temple of Heaven, Summer Palace and Taianamen Square, and take a tour amongst the small alleyways of the old Hutongs of Beijing. In Xi’an we marvel at the Army of the Terracotta Warriors, before heading to Guilin and the breathtaking scenery along the Li River. From Kunming we see the amazing pinnacles and lime pillars of the Stone Forest, before wandering the streets of the ancient city of Lijang, a World Heritage Site. Our tour ends in the vibrant city of Shanghai, once known as the "Paris of the East” with its fascinating mix of old and modern architecture.
