“Nexus Holidays employs the finest tour guides that were patient, organized and happy to go the extra mile to accommodate our requests including getting tickets to the Acrobatic Show in Shanghai for us.  All of the Nexus local guides who met us showed pride in their cities and had a wealth of knowledge to share with our group” said Christine Chilton CTM, Director of Education for ACTA.

The itinerary included Beijing, Xi’an, Suzhou, Wuxi, Hangzhou and Shanghai.  Highlights included an in depth tour of Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City, walking on the Great Wall of China, a visit to the Terra Cotta Warriors and Horse Museum, a walk on the ancient city wall in Xi’an, a boat cruise on the Grand Canal in Suzhou, a visit to the Lingshan Grand Buddha – one of the largest Buddha statues in the world and an evening cruise to view the city night lights in Shanghai. 

Twenty travel agents from across Canada were treated to Chinese specialties that included a Peking duck dinner and an Imperial Dumpling Banquet dinner.
