              ALONG THE YANGTZE RIVER
ALONG THE YANGTZE RIVER ITINERARY:
 

DAYS 1 – 5, Tuesday – Saturday: Depart for Beijing, China
Depart from home on Tuesday. Arrive in Beijing and take an in-depth look at the
famous Forbidden City, the Summer Palace and Tiananmen Square. Walk along the Great Wall—the only manmade structure visible from space. And celebrate the city’s culinary delights with an authentic Peking Duck dinner.

DAYS 6 & 7, Sunday & Monday: Xian
Begin your cultural immersion by visiting the Small Wild Goose Pagoda—one of
several ancient Buddhist monuments in Xian. The following day, explore two
museums dedicated to the extraordinary history of China’s buried past—discover relatively unknown fossils and prehistoric records of China at the Shaanxi
Historical Museum, and be ready for an awe-inspiring experience as you encounter
the army of 7,000 terra cotta warriors at the burial site of Emperor Qinshihuang.

DAYS 8 – 10, Tuesday – Thursday: Yangtze Cruise
Fly to Chongqing and board the new M/V Victoria Anna for a peaceful journey downstream. Your memorable cruise on the Yangtze River combines sightseeing
with scientific, artistic and folkloric exploration. As you glide into river towns,
view the spectacular grandeur of the Three Gorges. Also experience the Gezhou Dam in Yichang—the largest public works project in China since the Great Wall.

DAYS 11 – 13, Friday – Sunday: Shanghai
Venture into electric and eclectic Shanghai. One example of the blending of ancient tradition and forward-looking ambition is the Shanghai Museum’s extraordinary collection of ancient Chinese art, which resides in a stunning building in the heart of the city—one of many architectural marvels now decorating the skyline. But there is more to Shanghai than glittering glass. Wander the serene paths of Yu Garden in
Shanghai’s old town. Then marvel at world-class Chinese acrobats as we
attend a thrilling performance.

DAYS 14 – 16, Monday – Wednesday: Hong Kong

Welcome to one of the world’s great cosmopolitan cities —offering culinary
delicacies, a modern skyline, peaceful countryside and a bustling harbor. Let your imagination fly from Victoria Peak, then float across Aberdeen Harbor in an authentic
sampan, and search for local treasures at the Stanley Market. We suggest
extending your stay in fascinating Hong Kong.
