Mystical. Ancient. Magnificent.
China, as you have always imagined it,
is vanishing like dust on the winds of change.
From the gleaming towers of China’s most modern city
to holy paths of the highest city on earth . . .
From the former residence of the Dalai Lamas
to the former residence of China’s Emperors . . .
From the foot of the Great Wall to the Roof of the World,
we invite you to join us where ancient traditions and modern interests
overlap, blend and clash.
There is no better illustration of
the struggle between Old and New Worlds
than the stark contrast between China and Tibet.
We begin in Shanghai:
observe traditional China as it vanishes and reappears
amidst the modern Chinese landscape.
We continue to Tibet:
witness the rich history, the encouraging progress
and the ongoing struggle between tradition and control
that defines life in China’s Tibet.
We conclude in Beijing:
from the opulent seat of China’s vast power,
explore the old and new icons
that welcome the world to their door.
In Alexander Voyages Signature Style,
celebrate the finest achievements of the Old World,
savor the exquisite luxuries of the New World,
meet the people who bridge the divide
and embrace what remains of the China you’ve always imagined . . .
. . . before it’s gone forever.
