Dear MSU Alumni and Friends,

Please join MSU host Tina Zhuang on an exclusive 14-day small group journey to China. From the capital of Beijing to fascinating Xian, and the fabled Yangtze River to cosmopolitan Shanghai, experience China’s ancient past as well as its fast-moving present on this memorable tour.

Begin in China’s modern-day capital, the 2,000-year-old city of Beijing, and visit its legendary sites, including Tiananmen Square; the Forbidden City; and, of course, the Great Wall. Enjoy a special rickshaw ride along Beijing’s ancient alleyways then continue on to Xian, site of the excavated terra cotta army of more than 7,000 life-sized warriors. From there, fly to Chongqing and board your Victoria Cruises ship for a three-night cruise on the storied Yangtze and a tour of the spectacular Three Gorges Dam. Conclude your tour in Shanghai, a dazzling city that epitomizes 21st-century China. A 4-day/3-night extension to Hong Kong is also available.

Space on this exclusive MSU Alumni Office departure is limited to just 24 guests, and will fill quickly. Please call today to reserve your place!

Go Green!

Day 1: Depart U.S. for Beijing, China

Day 2: Arrive Beijing We arrive in the Chinese capital and transfer to our hotel. After time to relax we meet our tour director for a walking tour of the area surrounding our hotel. Dinner is on our own.

Day 3: Beijing After this morning’s briefing with our tour director, we begin our discovery of this 2,000-year-old city at vast – and infamous – Tianan-men Square, and the Forbidden City, seat of imperial power during the Ming and Qing dynasties (1368–1911). Tonight we enjoy a traditional Peking Duck dinner at a local restaurant. B,D

Day 4: Beijing/Great Wall Our day begins with a rickshaw ride through Beijing’s ancient back roads and alleys (hutongs). Here we visit the home of a local family for a rare glimpse of the traditional communal lifestyle that is fast disappearing. Then we make a brief photo stop at Olympic Park, site of the 2008 Olym-pic Games. This afternoon we encounter the Great Wall, the incredible collection of ancient defense installations (and UNESCO World Heritage site) that stretches more than 5,500 miles and where we visit the Mu Tian Yu section by cable car. B,L,D

Day 5: Beijing This morning we tour the splendid Temple of Heaven complex where China’s emperors once worshipped. Later this afternoon we tour the Summer Palace, the former royal retreat with beauti-ful gardens and temples that is now a park attracting both visitors and locals. B,L

Day 6: Beijing/Xian This morning we fly to Xian. Once among the world’s greatest cities, Xian devolved into a provincial backwater until the accidental discov-ery of the Terra Cotta Warriors in 1974 – considered among the most significant archaeological finds of the 20th century. This afternoon, we tour Xian’s impressive nine-mile city wall and moat. Tonight, we enjoy a spe-cial dinner of traditional Chinese dumplings. B,L,D

Day 7: Xian Our day begins at Small Wild Goose Pagoda (c. 652 ce), among China’s most acclaimed

ClassiC China & the Yangtze14 days for $4,784 total price from Detroit($4,295 air, land & cruise inclusive plus $489 airline taxes and fees)

C omprehensive in scope yet briefer in duration than many China tours, this relaxed, well-paced journey combines monumental Beijing, a cruise on the fabled

Yangtze, fascinating Xian, and cosmopolitan Shanghai. Traveling in your small group, you’ll have the good fortune to meet local people and to experience a host of China’s highlights, both ancient and of the moment.

Buddhist temples. After lunch we visit the museum housing the renowned Terra Cotta Warriors, the more than 7,000 life-sized soldiers created to guard China’s first emperor in the afterlife. We see these astounding pieces, each with an individually sculpted face, standing in military formation in three separate vaults. The entire complex is now a UNESCO World Heritage site. B,L,D

Day 8: Xian/Chongqing/Board Ship This morn- ing we fly to Chongqing, where we visit the zoo housing the beloved pandas. Following dinner at a local restaurant, we board our Victoria Cruises ship and set sail this evening. B,L,D

Day 9: Yangtze Cruising – Shibaozhai or Fengdu Prized for its haunting natural beauty, the Yangtze is one of the world’s busiest and longest (3,600 miles) rivers. As we cruise along the storied waterway, this afternoon we visit either the Red Pagoda in Shibaozhai or the “ghost city” of Fengdu, with its complex of shrines, temples, and monasteries. B,L,D

Day 10: Yangtze Cruising – Qutang Gorge/Wu Gorge/Small Gorges/Xiling Gorge It’s a day of beautiful scenery as we first pass through narrow Qutang Gorge, smallest of the Yangtze gorges, followed by tranquil Wu Gorge. Then we board a small sampan for a cruise through the stunning Small Gorges. Flanked by sheer cliffs and steep mountains, the Small Gorges recall scenes from ancient Chinese scroll paintings. Back on board our Victoria Cruises ship, late this afternoon we enter 42-mile Xiling Gorge, with its swift rapids and churning whirlpools. B,L,D

Day 11: Yangtze Cruising – Three Gorges Dam/Shanghai We tour the site of the immense Three Gorges Dam Project this morning then continue

Tour the historic Forbidden City complex on Day 3.

cruising to Yichang. Here we disembark and fly to Shanghai, the “Paris of the East.” Tonight we enjoy dinner together at a local restaurant. B,D

Day 12: Shanghai Our day begins with a walking tour of the Xin Tian Di shopping and entertainment area of reconstituted traditional homes. We continue on to beloved 16th-century Yu Yuan Gardens, whose plantings, courtyards, and pavilions create the illusion of mountains, caverns, and lakes. After lunch together we tour the acclaimed Shanghai Museum of ancient Chinese art and artifacts. Tonight we dine on our own then attend an acrobatics show. B,L

Day 13: Shanghai This morning we visit the Bund, the mile-long riverside embankment where foreign investors – and their buildings – once held sway over Shanghai. Still one of the city’s most popular attrac-tions, the Bund draws visitors and locals alike. Then the remainder of the day is at leisure; your tour direc-tor will help you find your way from here, perhaps to the bustling Nanjing Road shopping district … to the Oriental Pearl TV Tower for a bird’s-eye view of this dynamic city … or to a scenic boat ride along the Huangpu River that bisects Shanghai. Tonight we toast our China adventure at a farewell dinner. B,D
