This project is perfect for anyone who wants to visit the land of the rising sun. Greenforce has various projects in Guilin Region which is regarded by many as one of the most beautiful areas of China.
We call this four week expedition ‘Ultimate China’ for one primary reason: it’s a classic trip in which four amazing aspects of this epic country are uncovered.
China is such a broad and grand expanse that it is nearly impossible to cover. Some people spend their lives exploring China but we’ve managed to condense it into 4 weeks just for you.
Much of your time is spent in the heartland of China in the Fengyan village and the majestic Yangshao town.
The first week is a great introduction and includes day trips to ancient temples, ruins and nearby towns. You will then learn some customs and language lessons.
The following week will include a visit to the Yinzi Caves, peach blossoms and the ancient city of Daxo.
The third week is perhaps the most extraordinary of all, as you trek high into the Dali Mountains and stay at a traditional temple there. As if you needed more encouragement, the final week is entitled ‘Beach Week’ and takes place in Beihai. Day trips to Weizhou Island are intertwined into it. When the time comes to finish this Classic China expedition, home will seem much closer than anticipated. The magic of China will surround you.
