Many travelers have visited China in recent years. The glories of the Middle Kingdom have become a regular stop on the tourist trail. But China is far richer and more diverse than the average tourist encounters. Her national parks and scenic jewels are amazing and obscure palaces, monasteries, and temples fire one’s cultural imagination. Of all our tours, our two China OBTs rival Egypt as the most “sight-rich” itineraries on offer. The fact that virtually every stop is unfamiliar to western travelers enhances the impact and increases the enjoyment. This is truly a journey of discovery – par excellence! Come join Imprint on a unique expedition that unveils the immense treasure trove of lesser known, but genuinely spectacular sights and experiences of China.

Important Note: Although the tour stops are "off the beaten path" for us, they are not unknown to domestic travelers. We will encounter crowds at every sight. Also, this tour spans the length of China. There will be lots of travel hours and a couple of full days of transportation.

This tour can be combined with the regular China tour. Transportation between tours is the traveler’s responsibility. Imprint can assist with bookings. See tour “Add ons” on the China tour.
