Travel to China with Silk Road Collection

We, along with our customers and friends, will soon depart on our 1st annual "Shopping / Sightseeing" journey to China. For two weeks in May, we will explore and shop in Beijing and Xian and cruise along the Yangtze River, plus a day trip to Guangzhou!

Itinerary: Beijing-8 nights, Xian-2 nights, Yangtze River Cruise-3 nights. The crusie ship and hotels are luxurious, 5-star and full-service.
In Beijing, we plan to visit our favorite silk, pearl and many furniture markets; also the weekend flea market. We look forward to a Chinese opera performance, authentic Chinese food, the majesty of the Great Wall and the expanse of the Forbidden City.

Xian is the eastern point on the ancient Silk Road. Here our focus will be visiting the burial site of the First Qin Emperor and his buried army, with over 8,000 larger-than-life terra cotta figures of warriors and horses.

On our journey from Xian to the river cruise, we will stop in Guangzhou (capital city of Canton Province) for a full-day tour.

Relax and Enjoy! That's our motto for our three-day Yangtze River-Three Gorges cruise. We will experience the magestic scenic beauty of the river and its shores. We will visit ancient villages, cities and palaces along the river and tour the world's largest dam.

Preparing for our Journey: The average high temparture will be in the upper 70's with the average lows in the mid 50's. Pack lightly-no one in China will notice or care that you have worn the same pair of jeans 4 days in a row. China has everything you may need in terms of supplies-shampoo, toilet paper, toothpaste and most over-the-counter medicines. Bring your own prescription medicine however.

Based on our experinces, our hotels will have western styled electrical outlets and voltage-so your hairdryer should work. The hotels will offer you western foods and the opportunity to sample authentic Chinese dishes.
