Adventure trips to China: The highlights 

1. Follow the Silk Road: Connecting China to the Mediterranean via the Central Asian steppes, the Silk Road is one of the world’s oldest and most historically important trade routes and had a huge influence on the civilisations of the West. The vast plains and great deserts create an unmissable wilderness landscape, home to nomadic tribes and marauding warriors. The Silk Road is also home to the forgotten cities that were once the centre of civilisation: Samarkand and Bukhara in Uzbekistan, and Kashgar in China's Xinjiang region – regal posts on this incredible journey to Beijing. 

2. Trek the Great Wall: China’s most famous landmark, the Great Wall winds like a dragon across the landscape. Stretching over 6000km it maps out most things Chinese, taking in Imperial tombs, quiet rural villages and mountainous highlands before reaching Beijing itself. The best bits are away from the tourists, and we'll take you to the more remote areas. Your effort will be rewarded with peace and tranquillity, and an opportunity to get a real sense of the scale and majesty of this remarkable construction.

3. Walk among the Terracotta Army: In 1974, a group of peasants unearthed one of the biggest archaeological discoveries of the 20th century: over 8000 life-sized terracotta warriors. Beautifully crafted with astonishing attention to detail, the soldiers had been lying there for over 2000 years guarding the tomb of the first Chinese Emperor in the ancient city of Xi’an.
