Tour Features
The itinerary starts from developed South East China to the Tibet Plateau, the sharp contrast and the visual impact between the cultures, climate, custom and religion will be quite an experience! Xian, as an exceptional capital for 12 dynasties in history has left the city a lot to see and to feel; Beijing, as the present capital and the capital of Ming & Qing Dynasties in China, which has also endured humiliations during late Qing Dynasty. The old city and its people take the history as to be used for reference.
