Visit the World famous Terracotta Army, Great Wall of China and Tiananmen Square to gain an insight into this ancient civilisation. Hailed as the engineering feat of the 20th Century, the Three Gorges Dam is the world's largest HEP project, yet an environmental catastrophe threatens. A three-day Yangtze River cruise is your opportunity to experience the issues at first hand. Modern day China is reflected in the spectacular architecture and towering skylines of Beijing and Shanghai.
