Terracotta Warriors

Great Wall and Guilin

Constructed to protect China's northern frontier from Mongol raiders, the majestic and awesome Great Wall stretches for almost 4500 kilometres across China's north, from the edge of the Gobi desert to Yellow Sea. We walk its ramparts along one of the best preserved sections. The mystical limestone mountains and vibrant green rice fields of the landscapes surrounding Guilin evoke the classic image of China's tranquil rural south and have inspired countless poets and artists for centuries. Over eight days we join the local people on this mighty nation's favourite mode of transport - the bicycle!
