This 16-day journey explores China's cradle of culture with a 10-day cruise on the Yangtze all the way from Nanjing to Chongqing. You still see all the wonders of Shanghai, Xian and Beijing, but on this cruise, you uncover the roots of Chinese civilization from Suzhou with its famed gardens; to Nanjing, former capital of ancient China; to Mt. Jiu Hua's remote Buddhist Temple complex; to Jingdezhen, birthplace of porcelain. This journey is for those who want to really understand the origins of Chinese culture.
