Mention code 6066756 | | Intrepid Travel | | | | Day | Destination | Description | | Day 1 | Hong Kong | A fusion of east and west, Hong Kong is a glittering world of skyscrapers, shopping malls and electronic goods rising from the South China Sea. Dig a bit deeper and unearth fascinating markets, secluded beaches and serene temples. For those who arrive early make sure you check out the Temple Street night market and take the Star Ferry across the harbour. | | Days 2-5 | Guiyang/Kaili | Immerse yourself in a world of colourful local dress, traditional architecture and the unique cultures of the Miao people on a three day adventure through the countryside of Guizhou Province. Trek past mountains and markets and spend the night in sleepy villages along the way. | | Days 6-7 | Kunming | Explore the alleyways and backroads of Kunming for a glimpse of the city's old-world character. Sample the delicious food of the 'eternal spring city' in one of the many markets. | | Days 8-10 | Sapa | In Vietnam we discover a strikingly different countryside to explore. Starting at the old French hill station of Sapa, trek through the extraordinary rural mountainscapes that are home to the colourful H'mong, Tay and Dzao people. | | Days 11-12 | Hanoi | An overnight train to Hanoi delivers us back to the fast pace of city life. The final day is free to wander the tree-lined boulevards, shop for mementos in the Old Quarter or top off the adventure with Hanoi's famous water puppet show. |
