Highlights

This epic traverse winds from Shaolin's warrior discipline through Yunnan's tea-carved trails and Guizhou's chorus-singing valleys to Zhangjiajie's gravity-defying peaks—a 23-day symphony where Tibetan prayer flags flutter above cloud forests, Miao silver crowns chime in terraced villages, and Tang Dynasty grotto saints gaze upon Beijing's imperial twilight.

  • Chant with Tibetan monks at 3,300m, spinning prayer wheels at Songzanlin in Shangri-La

  • Glass bridge walk at Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon, Bailong Elevator descent

  • View Longmen's 17m-tall Vairocana Buddha in Luoyang and preserved caravan square in Shaxi
