Majestic Yangtze

From $4,399 - 14 Days Fully Inclusive From New Zealand

As the name suggests this tour has been designed for the visitor to experience first hand the majesty of the Yangtze River and the dramatic natural landscapes of the Three Gorges. Commencing with a visit to the commercial powerhouse city of Shanghai and then a 4 night Yangtze River cruise, the tour is enriched by including historical Xian, the capital Beijing and a visit to the Panda Reserve in Chengdu. With all this being incorporated in a very concise 15 day itinerary, first time visitors to China will find this a great way to be introduced to the country.
