About the programme

This is a journey across China from west to east: from the capital squares and imperial palaces of Beijing to the waters of the Yangtze, and then to Shanghai's view of modernity and antiquity. Eleven days add up to a leisurely change of rhythms: first a city walk around Beijing, then the measured life on board a cruise ship, and in the finale — Shanghai with its contrasts.

The first part of the trip is dedicated to Beijing: here you will find spacious squares, imperial palaces and temple ensembles, as well as the Great Wall of China with a cable car ascent. These are days of intense acquaintance with history and architecture, where lunches become part of the impressions — for example, with Peking duck.

The middle of the route is a cruise along the great Chinese river. Days on board flow more calmly: landscapes, stops at the shores, small towns and gorges. Here the rhythm is set by the water itself, and you will have the opportunity to observe the life of the coastal places.

The finale is Shanghai and its surroundings. Here you will see both skyscrapers and the old town with the Yu Garden, and also go to the ancient water town of Zhujiajiao. This part of the trip is about the contrasts between modernity and centuries-old history.

The trip is designed for those who want to see China from different sides: both the capital, and the river expanses, and the metropolis. The flight is not included, but all internal movements, excursions and accommodation in Beijing and on board are organized.
