China 'on a Shoestring'

A chance to use your old b&w film. for the pandas!

Visiting Beijing and Xi'an will give you an enviable insight into Chinese culture and history. You’ll sample not only city life but country life too, exploring rural settlements such as Yangshuo and Dali by bike, boat or on foot. We’ll travel by bus through magnificent scenery, using night-trains to ensure we cover as much of this fascinating ancient empire. And we’ll do all of this at a very reasonable price!
