This might truly be a historic, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity as the Yangtze River’s water levels are increasing each and every year to the point where in the next couple of years, many of the age-old towns and villages, endangered animal species and historic sites will be lost... never to be seen again!

This tour is "tried, tested, and true" by Cruise Holidays as the owners, who are both extremely well-traveled and have taken over SEVENTY different cruises and tours, have done this tour TWICE in the past several years and both times come back raving about the quality, value, and the incomparable experience of this "Imperial Jewels of China" tour to any other.
