Exploring Shanxi and Shaanxi
Discover the cradle of Chinese civilization and some of the oldest Buddhist sites in China in Shanxi and Shaanxi Provinces accompanied by Dr. Jeffrey Riegel of the University of Sydney. Our cultural and historical journey begins in Beijing with time to discover some of its newer treasures. Fly southwest to Shanxi Province and explore some of the oldest and most sacred Buddhist sites at Datong, Taiyuan and Pingyao. Visit two of the four sacred Buddhist mountains in China, Wutaishan Mountain and Huashan Mountain. Admire the distinctive architectural styles of the Tang, Ming and Qing dynasties before traveling into Shaanxi Province and Xi’an, the capital of thirteen feudal dynasties from the Zhou to Tang dynasties stretching over 1,100 years. Discover the great ancient and modern monuments of the city that was an important part of the Silk Road. This promises to be an unforgettable journey and we do hope that you can join us!
