Destinations

Proud China

Modern cities lead the world, but ancient innovations still impress.

Imperial Heritage

Sway with a tai chi master during a lesson held in Beijing’s fifteenthcentury Temple of Heaven. This exclusive experience will warm up your body and mind for a two-week tour that begins in the capital and makes its way to Hangzhou via Datong, where you’ll visit the physics-defying Hanging Temple. Stop in Xian to see the famous Terracotta Warriors, and detour into Pingyao, Taiyuan and Shanghai.

Too Cute

Snuggle with a baby panda at the Dujiangyan Panda Base in China’s Sichuan Province. The center is dedicated to the care, research and conservation of these adorable giants and currently houses 170 pandas. Along with the panda experience (which includes a photo op), you’ll visit the Dujiangyan irrigation system, a landmark in Chinese scientific development, and a UNESCO World Heritage site.

Rural Wonders

Wander the Xizhou morning market in Yunnan Province. This agricultural village is a stronghold of Bai, Yi and other Chinese ethnic minorities. Explore the area and spend two nights in a gorgeous traditional courtyard home. Visit the enchanted cities of Dali and Shangri-La and gaze over Tiger Leaping Gorge, one of the deepest in the world. The 14-day cross-country experience starts in Beijing and includes Kunming, Xian and Shanghai.

 An abundance of cultural treasures

Traveling across Europe opens your eyes to a world of unparalleled culture and history. It often seems impossible to choose between the Renaissance art of Florence and the Impressionist paintings of Paris; Germany’s Bavarian castles and the bustling multicultural London streets. The wealth of knowledge acquired in Europe is an asset of a lifetime – its only rivals being the people and food you’ll encounter along the way! Close proximity of individual countries makes it easy to incorporate any number of them into your trip, while each country is more than worthy of a focused, extended stay as you immerse yourself in the culture and communities.

The Possibilities Are Endless

Set to a backdrop of an impressive variety of landscapes, from lush tropical rainforests to the breath-taking Rocky Mountain range, North America offers a unique adventure for every traveler. Take a road trip along the Pacific Coast highway, zip-line through Canada’s temperate rainforests, or journey through Mexico’s Copper Canyon by train. The endless opportunities of the land will leave you wanting to discover more.
