Highlights of the Yangtze - 15 days from £2249

Marco Polo said of the River Yangtze that its width is such that it is more like a sea than a river. This is true of the Yangtze in the central plains, yet further upstream it has to cut its way through some of the world’s most spectacular gorges. Absorb yourself in all that this river has to offer, explore some of the towns and cities that nestle on its banks and uncover the many layers of China’s diverse history.
