Where we will be!!!
Just for all of you that might be interested here it the Itinerary of what we will be up to while we are away...
Day one for us is the 26th and our last day on the tour is 4th of May.
We have 2 nights in Shanghai after the tour has finished just to do some shopping ...
Days 1-3 Beijing
Welcome to Beijing, a city of modern luxury and ancient treasures. Take a journey back in time and explore Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City and wander along the massive Great Wall. There is also the chance to spend time at some of the city's other fantastic sights like the Summer Palace and the Lamaist Monastery, or catch a Beijing acrobatic performance.
Days 4-5 Xi'an
A day trip from Xi'an takes us to the iconic 2,000-year-old Terracotta Warriors. Archaeologists believe followers of Emperor Qin sculpted the 6,000 warriors and placed them in battle formation to protect him in the afterlife. Back in Xi'an there is plenty of time to explore the walled city centre, watch the locals practice their ballroom dancing or catch a musical performance inside the 14th century Bell Tower.
Days 6-7 Suzhou
Linger in famous gardens of Suzhou and soak up the serenity before jumping on a bicycle and exploring the canals and quiet alleyways of this charming town. Top off the experience with an evening performance of traditional music, opera and theatre among the trees and waterfalls of one of the gardens.
Days 8-9 Shanghai
From the skyscrapers of modern Pudong and the colonial architecture of the Bund to the complex network of traditional Chinese alleyways, Shanghai wears its diversity on its sleeve. While exploring the city centre, we visit the world class Shanghai Museum, housing one of the best collections of Chinese bronze and artwork. There is also plenty of free time to shop up a storm at Yuyuan Bazaar or to get a taste of Europe in the French Concession.
