If you have limited time but still want to see the major attractions in China, this trip is ideal. We see the lot – Beijing and the Forbidden City, the Terracotta Warriors, the breathtaking scenery of Yangshuo, and exciting Hong Kong!

The differences between ancient and modern are more noticeable in China than in many other countries. One moment, you walk past ultra-modern office towers; after turning a corner, you find yourself in a medieval laneway, lined with ancient crumbling buildings. This classic 19-day journey showcases the best of both worlds.

This extraordinary rail journey takes us from east to west, passing lands of stark and breathtaking beauty, through fascinating cultures and ancient civilisations and, ultimately, across two great continents.

This is the big one – an epic overland journey! We begin in Saigon, walk the colonial boulevards of Hanoi, take in the amazing scenery and towns in southwest China, cruise on the Yangtze and finish in majestic Beijing.

Explore the Vietnamese capital, Hanoi, trek through spectacular Tiger Leaping Gorge, ride bikes past limestone karsts rising from lush paddy fields, cruise down the Yangtze, and walk along ancient trade routes.

This exciting and pioneering overland journey takes us from China into the heart of Laos, before crossing into Vietnam. We'll travel through formerly inaccessible areas and meet local people who may have never seen foreigners before.
