    China is a country full of highlights and hidden treasures, and if you visit it with us, you'll be sure to get a top mix of both. Over two weeks, you'll venture from Beijing to Hong Kong, taking in China's contrasts between ancient and modern as you explore both cityscapes and countrysides. There's a visit to the Great Wall included, plus the chance to check out the Terracotta Warriors in Xi'an, an overnight stay at the roundhouses in Fujian, and so much more packed into a relatively short trip. This is a great first trip to China to get a taste that will leave you wanting to come back.
