 Tour
Description: China
has a long history, and owns a lot of historical remains. We
choose several representative small ancient-style towns to
show ancient Chinese architecture, cultures of different
ethnic groups, and people's life. Pingyao is a typical Chinese
town in north China, and also the only one left right now
completely reserved as it was. Tongli, on the other hand, is a
sample of ancient small town in south China with rivers, streams
and elegant bridges. Lijiang, inhabited by Naxi nationality, is
known for its special architecture as well as its simple and
warm-hearted people.
