Map
Explore China’s capital city and uncover the ancient, exotic, dynastic, and imperial. Leap to a deep experience at Tiger Leaping Gorge, a canyon on the famous Yangtze River. Venture high into the mountainous southwest. Then head even higher to Shangri-La — the place where Tibet, Sichuan and Yunnan meet, and the gateway to a life-changing experience. Getting here isn’t easy. Neither is leaving.
After a quick arrival in Beijing, it’s off to the Yunnan Province to explore the ancient villages of Lijiang and Suhe. Lijiang, established around the end of the 12th century, was a popular stop and on the “Ancient Tea Trade Route." Today, you can trade tea for exploration, eco-adventure and service work. Which brings us to the Tendol Gyazur in the Yunnan town of Shangri-La. Learn the true meaning of cultural exchange as Chinese and Tibetan orphans greet you with open arms.
