Our Delegations
Everyone should see the Terracotta Warriors at least once, to comprehend the nature of power in the Qin Dynasty and to witness the history of the Silk Road, which began at the cultural crossroads and ancient capital of Xi'an. Walk the city walls and listen to the distant Buddhist chants at the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. Meet local scholars and leaders, learn about philosophical origins and engage in cross-cultural understanding.
Travel with us to the desert oasis of Dunhuang, cradle of Buddhism in China, and treasury of cultural and natural wonders, to relive the cultural exchange of the Silk Road. See the millennia-old Huaqing Pool, renowned for the Tang Dynasty's epic love legend, "Song of Everlasting Sorrow", a site steeped in music and dance history. Explore the thousand Buddhas and mesmerising cave art of the Mogao Grottoes, telling stories of ancient wisdom.
Camel ride in the timeless Gobi Desert, marvel at tranquil Crescent Lake nestled amid towering, "singing" sand dunes. Explore the visually striking desert canyons and unique geological formations of Yardang Devil City and, as starry night descends, ponder the cosmos and our one earth's place in it.
