Immerse yourself in the sights and sounds of this mystifying and intriguing country, explore its cities and ancient villages. Visit imperial Beijing, the metropolis Shanghai with its ever-growing skyline, and marvel at the magnificent Terracotta Warriors in Xi'an. Enjoy a four night luxury cruise on the Yangtze River and visit exciting Hong Kong.
Imperial Beijing and the Great Wall of China
Beijing has served as the capital of the Chinese empire for the past 1000 years - from Kublai Khan to the dynasties of the Chinese emperors and today's People's Republic. Home to a staggering 13 million people, its historical treasures are unparalleled. Centered around the spectacular Imperial Palace or 'Forbidden City', the streets of the old city are arranged according to ancient feng shui principles. A short distance to the north of Beijing lies the magnificent Great Wall of China, built to protect the kingdom from invaders and stretching for over 6000 km, this is truly an amazing feat of architecture.
Guilin and Li River Cruise
Guilin is famous for the stunning landscapes surrounding it - unique caves and steep hills rising dramatically from the verdant vegetation. Take a cruise along the tranquil Li River from Guilin to Yangshuo and marvel at the stunning limestone karst peaks and witness a life far removed from China's bustling cities, with water buffalos on the river banks and farmers tending to rice fields. After your cruise discover the local market at Yangshuo.

River cruising in China is an experience to remember, with a never-ending panorama of spectacular scenery awaiting along the Yangtze River. Join APT, the cruising experts, and explore China’s famous Yangtze River.
