CHINA, TIBET & THE YANGTZE

135

BEIJING to SHANGHAI · 14 DAYS · CHINA

CHINA EMITS A DEEPLY SPIRITUAL

PERSONALITY THAT FOLLOWS YOU WHEREVER

YOUR CURIOSITY TAKES YOU,

from timeless landmarks in Xi’an, the Great Wall,

Temple of Heaven and Goddess Stream to the

invigorating streets of Shanghai, full of traditional

teahouses just steps away from waterfront

skyscrapers. Together they make for one incredible

cruise and your home for 14 days in the spring,

summer or fall. China’s dynamic cities are home

to some of the most historic cultural landmarks in

the world. Tibet is enlightening in its own way, with

some of the friendliest faces and most widespread

natural beauty you’ll find anywhere. In Lhasa, you’ll

have the opportunity to visit some of the most

sacred places, including the Jokhang Temple, Potala

Palace’s jewel-lined tombs and the Sera Monastery.

As an old Chinese proverb says, “Raise your sail one

foot and you get 10 feet of wind.” Our sail is raised,

and we welcome you to see how far it can take you.

We’d tell уou the answer (verу far), but some things are best kept a mуsterу.
