Chengdu & Guilin, China
China is a country of contrast, where ancient heritage and modern city life exist side by side. In Chengdu, settle into its cultural pace, from moments with giant pandas to wandering streets filled with tradition.
As the journey continues, the scenery shifts. In Guilin and Yangshuo, limestone peaks rise and rivers wind through the landscape, offering a quieter, more scenic side of China, best experienced at an unhurried pace.
