Experience both classic sights and off-the-beaten-path destinations across China — all in under two weeks — thanks to the time-saving small-jet magic of Abercrombie & Kent. Immerse yourself in icons from Beijing to Xi’an, including the Forbidden City, the Great Wall and the Terracotta Warriors. Spread your wings to remote locales such as Dunhuang’s Mogao Caves, the Silk Road outpost of Jiayuguan and the gorgeous landscapes in Zhangjiajie, lush inspiration for Avatar. Finish in shimmering Shanghai with a relaxing river cruise, taking in the city’s dazzling skyline.
Raise a champagne toast on top of the well-preserved Mutianyu section of the Great Wall
In Dunhuang, view more than a thousand years’ worth of Buddhist art in the stunning Mogao Caves with an archaeologist who grants you access to a cave normally closed to the public
Explore hard-to-reach areas on the former Silk Road, including Dunhuang and Jiayuguan
Meet the army of an emperor, viewing the astonishing Terracotta Warriors in Xi’an and learning their history from an on-site specialist
Experience vividly contrasting landscapes, from the Gobi Desert’s towering dunes to the lush, forest-cloaked sandstone pinnacles that helped inspire the film Avatar
Finish in cosmopolitan Shanghai, where you explore the French Concession with a local historian
