China Encompassed - 25 days

Margaret Gonzalez says:
This has the experience of a lifetime, I would have no hesitation in recomending Kumuka to friends and family, very well planned and thought out.

Introduction: Walk along the Great Wall of China, visit grottoes, temples and tombs, and cruise the Yangtze River on this trip from Beijing to the busy port of Shanghai. The tour starts with a walk along the Great Wall at Mutianyu, and then explores the capital Beijing, from the Imperial Forbidden City to the Summer Palace and Tiananmen Square. We travel overnight by train to Zhengzhou where we visit the Provincial Museum, before continuing on to Kaifeng and the Iron Pagoda and Dragon Pavilion. We explore the Shaolin Monastery and Pagoda Forest before arriving at Luoyang, home to the Longmen Grottoes. Next stop Xi’an where we visit the Wild Goose Pagoda and City Wall. Wander through the bustling Muslim Quarter before going back in time with a visit to the amazing ranks of the Terracotta Army and Banpo Museum. From Xi’an we fly to Chongqing and cruise down the Yangtze River for three days, sailing through the spectacular 3 Gorges and stopping off along the way to explore the Ghost City of Fengdu. We end our trip in Shanghai and visit the fabulous Jade Buddha Temple, the Yu Gardens and the Bund.

	Helen’s a travel expert. She’ll help you find exactly the right tour that suits your requirements. She says she always listens before making a recommendation and doesn’t just hear about people’s travel plans but everything else that’s going on in their lives as well. ‘It’s no bother’ she says. ‘I enjoy it. I like to chat’. Some employers would discourage such frivolity and unpaid for extra service. Not us. We think it’s great.
