A GLIMPSE OF THE SIGNATURE
EXPERIENCES THAT AWAIT
Be invited aboard a traditional vessel for a private
cruise around the shores of China's most beautiful
Summer Palace. You will be served tea and cakes as
you admire palaces, gardens and ancient structures
from the water's edge.
On a rarely visited stretch of the Badaling section
of the Great Wall, a quiet square will play host to a
private lunch with free-flowing local wine, beer and
soft drinks. Prepared exclusively for APT guests, this
is an experience you simply can't have on your own.
The Chinese call the Yangtze River 'the mother of
China'. The importance of this grand watercourse is
unmistakeable. This is no more apparent than at the
world's largest engineering project, Three Gorges Dam.
Cruising aboard a luxurious boutique river ship, you'd
be captivated at every turn by her stunning landscapes
and intriguing culture. Joining you ashore throughout
the journey, as English-speaking local guides provide a
passionate insight into life on the river. With a wealth
of knowledge they show you this fascinating region
through the eyes of a local. A trip to China wouldn't be
complete without an afternoon with the Qin Terracotta
Warriors or an acrobatic show in Shanghai. To top it
all off, enjoy a tour of the Chongqin Zoo, home to the
endangered Giant pandas. Touring China with APT, you
will find nothing has been left to chance.
