China

China is a fascinating destination. Home to some of the world's greatest man-made and natural wonders, China remains as mysterious to the Western traveller today as it was centuries ago. Separated from its neighbours by the Himalayas and the Siberian steppe, China has one of the world's oldest civilisations, with a unique cultural and topographical environment.

The Yangtse is China’s longest river, meandering for nearly 4,000 miles from the Tibetan highlands to the East China Sea. To take a cruise along a section is to experience this extraordinary river first hand. As a result of the world’s largest dam project, the river has changed slightly in recent years, and is now better than ever. The river winds through the Majestic Three Gorges, deep rocky canyons and rugged mountains.
