Destination information for the China expedition

Known as the ‘Middle Kingdom’, China has a long and dramatic history and offers an endless diversity of cultural treasures. It is likely that the expedition will follow a route from the splendors of Beijing in the north of China to the east and west fusion of Hong Kong in the south, with the option of going north to south or vice versa. Teams will head to the former imperial capital of Xi’an, home to the Terracotta Warriors. The province of Sichuan in south west China will be the starting point of the team’s main trekking.
