China Updates


Yangtze River Cruises - Downstream from Chongqing and the languid Yangtze coils through a narrow chasm between two mountains. On each side the ethereal silhouettes of forested slopes fade into the mist, as passengers line the decks of the Sanctuary Yangzi Explorer, clutching their cameras as they crane their necks to take in the dramatic environment. But even the most beautiful paintings and photographs fail to capture the magnificence, mystery and mood of the Qutang Gorge.

Li River Cruises - Book a 6-hour cruise on the beautiful Li River to sail the 85 km between Guilin and Yangshuo. Verdant rice fields, grazing water buffalo and traditional cormorant fishing all set among the limestone karst peaks are the highlights of the trip. Guilin has flights to Beijing, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Xian, Guangzhou and Chengdu. There are direct trains to Beijing, Shanghai, Kunming, Xian and Guangzhou from Guilin Station off Zhongshan Lu.
