The empire begins
City walls, archaeology and noodles made by hand.
Thoughtful small-group and private journeys that connect the great landmarks with the neighbourhoods, makers and everyday moments around them.
An eastbound journey through Xi’an, Beijing, Shanghai and water-town Jinxi. Move from the first emperor’s city to the capital, then finish at the pace of a canal-side morning.
City walls, archaeology and noodles made by hand.
Palace geometry, the Great Wall and hutong streets.
Residential lanes, old banks and the river skyline.
Bridges, canals and a quieter final chapter.
