Tour overview

 

China

for so many centuries before the imperial West established its preeminence in the mid-18th century, the most advanced country in the world under the Ming and Qing Dynasties. China’s more than 70 World Heritage sites range from the Forbidden Palace in Beijing to the millennia-old Honghe Hanai rice terraces of southern Yunnan and Zhoukoudian, last resting place of Peking Man and a reminder that human societies have flourished in Asia since Paleolithic times or earlier.
