This meticulous planned itinerary features two of China's greatest ancient capitals, a visit to the world-renowned Panda Research & Breeding Center in Chengdu, and touching down on one the planet's top entertainment Meccas.

Your introduction to China begins in Beijing, where the opportunity of a glimpse into China's magnificent three thousand year history awaits. You will visit legendary landmarks such as The Forbidden City, Ming Tombs, The Summer Palace, Temple of Heaven, and of course, the Great Wall of China -- all with the convenience and comfort of China's modern day infrastructure, personalized service and superb accommodations. A short flight then takes you to Xian, the  beautiful  ancient capital  for over 1,000 years of 13 dynasties, and home of the legendary Terracotta Warriors -  an archaeological gem that has inspired millions from across the globe.  

Next, we take you to Chengdu in Sichuan Province famous for its natural beauty and Panda inhabitance. Here you will have an opportunity to see Pandas in action as well as to visit the world's oldest irrigation system at Dujiang Weir built over two thousand years ago. We then take you to the ultra-modern metropolis of Shanghai where you have the world virtually at your finger tips. In addition to all the great sites in Shanghai, we visit the ancient water-town of Zhujiajiao, forever known for its beautiful canals, local markets and traditional setting. Finally your farewell to China is greeted with an awe-inspiring ride on the planets fastest, and one-and-only MagLev Train. A futuristic marvel with a magnetic levitation system that propels a train with no wheels, wings or engine at a top speed exceeding 300 mph. But don't blink -- there is a lot to be missed with a bat of an eye!
