Join this compatable dance group on an exciting, informative visit to China at an outstanding reasonable price. This fabulous trip begins with 2 days in Shanghai followed by an 8 day trip on the Yangtze River cruise, being lifted up the Three Gorges Dam, visiting Nanjing, Huangshan, Wuhan, Yichang and the Three Gorges Dam, the beautiful Lesser Gorges, Fengdu, and disembarking at Chongquing.

We will fly to Xian to see the Terracotta Warriors Museum and then on to Beijing where we will visit the Great Wall of China and Tianamen Square, tour the Imperial ("Forbidden") Palace. Then it's on to the old part of the town -the Hutongs - where families still live in a communal setting. Here we will meet a local family who will invite us into their home and serve their home made lunch to us. Following that we will have an exciting cyclo ride through the maze of the Hutong streets. The ship and all hotels are five star rated.

We hope to arrange to meet, visit and dance with some local folk dance groups in the major China cities.

Visas will be required.
