Day 1: Hanoi Hanoi is a charming city with tree-lined boulevards, French architecture and quaint cafes. The seething markets and atmospheric Old Quarter make for a shoppers' paradise.

Days 2 - 4: Cat Ba Island offers a day lazing on the beach, watching the activity in the busy harbour or exploring the national park. Cruise around spectacular limestone peaks in Halong Bay on board our private boat.

Day 5: Hua Shan Travelling north into China, the hills begin to rise on the way to the tiny riverside village of Hua Shan. A huge cliff fresco depicts farmers, hunters and animals, painted by the ancestors of the Zhuang minority some 2000 years ago.

Day 6: Guilin Time to leave the Zuo River to join the locals travelling to the city of Guilin, famous throughout China for its stunning scenery.

Days 7 - 8: Chengyang Exquisite Dong minority 'wind and rain' bridges cross the waterways between traditional wooden houses while waterwheels lazily flood the glistening paddy fields.

Days 9 - 10: Longji Brilliant emerald rice terraces twist and climb the hills at Longji, the 'Dragon's Backbone'. Wooden villages of the Zhuang and long haired Yao minorities dot the hillsides with tiny stone paths meandering between.

Days 11 - 13: Yangshou As the Li River winds its way through the spectacular limestone karsts of Yangshuo, step into the realm of classical Chinese painting. Ancient villages, delicate bridges, local markets and gorgeous countryside make Yangshuo a special spot.

Days 14 & 15: Hong Kong Otherwise known as 'Fragrant Harbour', Hong Kong is an exhilarating city where traditions such as the old Star Ferry survive and flourish. Eat, shop and enjoy the excitement of this city's unique fusion of east and west.
