Majestic Yangtze

As the name suggests this tour has been designed for the visitor to experience first hand the majesty of the Yangtze River and the dramatic natural landscapes of the Three Gorges. Commencing with a visit to the commercial powerhouse city of Shanghai and then a 4 night Yangtze River cruise, this tour is enriched by including historical Xian, the capital Beijing and a visit to the Panda Research Centre in Chengdu. With all this being incorporated in a very concise 14 day itinerary, first time visitors to China will find this a great way to be introduced to the country.

TOUR ITINERARY

Wendy Wu Tours Review:  "I saw and experienced more than I would have on my own. My trip through China was amazing and made even more so by Wendy Wu Tours, particularly our national guide Emmanual. Emmanual is a funny, kind, generous, calm person who I’m sure made many life-long friends having made our trip so very enjoyable and a most rewarding experience. I will definitely be going back to China."

Mrs Mills, New South Wales – April 2010

"I will happily recommend Wendy Wu Tours to all who ask me about my holiday.  The itinerary is well planned, National Guide was informative, caring, aware of our needs, and able to be in 5 places at once.  He is a National Treasure in his own right!  The food was superb, if anything there was too much.  However every meal was well prepared, tasty and great service.  The buses were all clean and well cared for and the drivers and local guides were also friendly, well informed and helpful.   A great job.  Hotels were all great.  Thanks you so much for allowing me to see this great country in such a comfortable and friendly manner."
