Walking and Culture Tour September 2019

We will explore  four scenic spots through day walks of medium level, with one overnight on Huang Shan mountain top to see the sunset and sunrise. The villages in these scenic spots can also be enjoyed for their picturesque beauty, their architecture, and their way of life.

 An efficient itinerary will also take us to some cities that offer a unique place in China’s cultural and historical past. The travel programme  will seek out cultural experiences from art, architecture and  performance through to  regional food experiences. The destinations  have been selected to give diverse and in depth  appreciation of China old and new.

 A small group tour, 10 to 16 members, led by Dave Bromwich together with a Chinese guide throughout.
