To truly understand China, youve got to get out and meet it on its own terms, which is exactly what this eight-day trip through the countrys northern reaches delivers. Up here, youll get to the big stuff (the Great Wall, Xian, Beijing) and lesser-known treasures that only the hardiest of travellers ever get to experience: Datongs Hanging Monastery, the amazing Yungang Buddha Caves, the nearly 3,000-year-old city of Pingyao, even a calligraphy class, to name just a few.
