If you have always dreamed of walking on the Great Wall of China, you should consider going to China with Cosmos, who have been turning dreams into reality for more than 50 years. Cosmos originally pioneered the concept of low-cost travel packages and have grown to become one of the world’s most respected tour companies.

 

Each of their itineraries combines the iconic landmarks, with those unexpected gems that make travelling so rewarding. A Cosmos tour allows you free time to relax or explore on your own and they have created longer stays in key destinations so you get an even better insight.

 

For instance, Cosmos have a marvellous tour called ‘A China Experience’, which includes stopping off in Shanghai, Xian and Beijing. Shanghai is China’s largest city and an international metropolis, where the perfect blend of cultures exists. From Shanghai you will fly to Xian, the former ancient capital known as the Eternal City, and where you will visit the site of one of the most important archaeological discoveries of the 20th centure, the Terracotta Warriors.

 

From Xian you fly on to Beijing, the capital city of China where you can stroll through Tiananmen Square, past Chairman Mao’s Mausoleum to the treasure-filled Forbidden City. The Forbidden City is the largest and best preserved collection of ancient buildings in China, originally the home of the emperors and the centre of politics. From Beijing you will vist the Great Wall of China, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the longest man-made structure in the world.

 

With Cosmos you can extend your China tour to take in vibrant Hong Kong, where you will have two full days to explore the varied attractions at your own pace. As with all Cosmos tours, sightseeing, scenic highlights, professional guides, transportation and hotels are included, so to find out more please visit the website at http://www.cosmostours.co.nz .
