Project China—Pandas

Tour Highlights:

Walking Shanghai's streets, Beijing's monuments and along the Great Wall, meeting the Terracotta Warriors, volunteering at rural organic farm in north China and at the World's largest Panda Breeding Base.

Description:

This unique itinerary introduces the highlights of the Middle Kingdom — from the historic gems of modern Beijing to the ancient walls of Xian and cosmopolitan glitter of contemporary Shanghai, while allowing you to give back to the community at the same time. From the palaces and temples of Beijing venture to the countryside to experience the grandeur of the Great Wall and work with intellectually challenged youth at a unique organic farm based centre designed to offer employment opportunities and training to intellectually challenged people. In Xian witness the world famous Terracotta warriors, in Chengdu indulge in the culinary spice that is Sichuan cuisine and volunteer at the largest Panda reserve in the world to help ensure these distinctly Chinese icons are around for future generations to admire.
