You cover both the "Top Four" China's classic tourist cities (Beijing, Xi'an, Guilin and Shanghai) and other naturally beautiful places in this tour. The picturesque scenery along the Li River in Guilin will amaze you and consume dozens of films or a big capacity of the memory card in your camera. You will get very excited upon getting a close look at the giant Panda who is China's animal ambassador in the panda center in Chengdu. Jiuzhaigou is really a colorful fairyland and you see Tibetan people there. People say if you regard China as a huge and robust tree, the city of Xi'an is definitely the deeply-earthed roots of the tree. The Bell Tower, the City Wall, the pagodas are all the witnesses of this ancient capital's prosperity and brilliance in the past. The Terra Cotta Warriors and Horses is still a mysterious legend of the first centralized feudal empire of China. You will probably be shocked by Shanghai's modernization and fashionable life. A walk to the Nanjing Road and the Outer Bund will inform you how booming China's economy is. The Yellow Mountain which boasts the Greatest Mountain in whole China and Hangzhou's West Lake will both leave you a memorable impression of China's natural beauty. In the capital of Beijing, the Great Wall, the Forbidden City and the Temple of Heaven and the other places of interests that are in the list of the World Cultural Heritage will give you the first impression of China. Stories told by your guide when you're standing in the world's largest imperial palace will help you learn lots of history about China's last two imperial dynasties, the Ming and the Qing Dynasty. Actually, Beijing is a city of amazing contrasts--an ancient capital with some incredible historical sites, and a bustling modern metropolis successfully hosted the 2008 Olympics.
