On this ten-day trip to the Middle Kingdom you will enjoy high-level intellectual study sessions with the actual personalities who are changing the face of China. You will be exposed to the most amazing new architecture in the world, experience fusion cuisine in posh restaurants and study the trends that are taking China in new and mysterious directions. But this doesn’t mean you won’t get mud on your feet! You will also sit down with dissidents and the disenfranchised to hear a modern Chinese version of a Dickensian tale. Will China’s rich/poor divide eventually burst the bubble of the greatest economic revolution of all time?

This trip is dedicated to the traveller who is more interested in learning about the future of China rather than its past. You will spend three nights in Shanghai, three nights in Yangtze River towns and three nights in Beijing. Trip extensions are available to other powerhouse cities such as Hangzhou, Xian and Chengdu.
