22-Day Overland China Tour to Tibet, Guizhou & Xishuangbanna

Highlights

Climb the stone steps of the Potala Palace step by step, the White Palace and Red Palace rising tier upon tier, and look down from the golden roof at Lhasa blazing white in the plateau sun.
Rush to Everest Base Camp at dusk and watch the sunset turn the summit gold-red, then wait until the sky goes black and the Milky Way arches over the snowy peak, stars thick as scattered salt.
Walk behind Huangguoshu Waterfall and watch the water thunder down over your head, the mountains outside blurring through the curtain of water — this is where the pilgrims of Journey to the West once walked.
Walk through the tropical rainforest of Xishuangbanna and see a strangler fig wrapped tight around a tree, the dancing grass actually moving at the sound of singing, the air hot and humid, every breath green.
