Mythical China

The new 16-day Mythical China cultural journey will take you from a remote section of the Great Wall to the medieval town of Pingyao, which was designed in the shape of a tortoise – a traditional Chinese symbol for longevity and where we will spend a night in a traditional style Chinese inn.

The Hanging Monastery of Datong, which appears to be glued to the side of a cliff, will also be a highlight, as will unravelling the myths of Kung Fu at the Shaolin Temple and exploring Wuzen – where rivers and canals crisscross the town and ancient docks, waterside pavilions and corridors that stretch out for miles, create a romantic atmosphere.
