China

China is much more than the Great Wall, the terra-cotta warriors of Xian, Beijing, or panda bears. Travel to China and discover the people ... accomplished, creative, vibrant people, like the Han, the Naxi, the Miao, the Bai, the Hakka, and the Uighurs - people who built elaborate monasteries, temples and pagodas, people who established great progressive cities and kingdoms, and people who still live in ancient and remote villages. You will get to meet these people and celebrate with them, sing and dance, hear their stories, dine at their tables, and become part of a thriving culture.

For unforgettable memories, ride the trains, take a camel up the sand dunes of the Gobi Desert, explore the Silk Road, celebrate courting rituals with the Miao and Dong, shop the chaotic and colorful outdoor markets, see artisans at work, and tour great museums. Roam through big cities and ancient villages, take boat rides on rivers, walk with pilgrims, meet Uighur farmers, climb wild portions of the Great Wall, and experience a vibrant and important country at work.

Travel through China...treat yourself to the journey of a lifetime!
