Embracing Culture And Nature In China

We couldn't be more excited that China is finally back on the radar.

This itinerary introduces all the family to China, taking you on a journey to discover past history, traditions and ways of life. The fan-making, calligraphy and dumpling cooking classes are particular highlights!

Living With The Nomads In Mongolia  

You haven’t experienced wide open spaces until you visit Mongolia. One of the least densely populated places on the planet, it’s about as different from Hong Kong as you can get! Horse ride alongside herds of animals (all levels welcome), try your hand at archery, and live alongside host nomadic families in a traditional felt ger, helping with the daily chores and learning to prepare Mongolian cuisine. Always fancied visiting the Gobi Desert? During the Summer months, you can hike up the famed Khongoren Els for breathtaking sunset views across the ginormous dunes.
