Trip at a Glance

New for 2009: Small groups of just 18-24 travelers, guaranteed

All born travelers dream of beholding China's legendary treasures, but few would dream that it could be done this affordably, this in depth, and at this easygoing a pace. This two-week vacation invites you to delve deeply into the unique characters of three classic cities—multicultural Shanghai, ancient Xian, and imperial Beijing—with stays of up to five nights in each. So you'll see all the major attractions, have time to absorb the local flavor, see outlying cities (like the Silk Road capital of Suzhou), and never feel rushed. Optional extensions in Hong Kong and Tokyo let you make the most of your already included transpacific airfare for a truly panoramic Asian encounter.
