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

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.
