China

Unmask China’s millennia-old culture and customs on an Asia cruise with Holland America Line. Bustling Xingang opens the door to Beijing and its Forbidden City; China’s capital is also a short train ride from Tianjin, although the cruise port boasts its own treasures like the Confucius Temple. Witness Shanghai’s dynamic skyline from the sea, then “float” above it on the futuristic Maglev train. Sip pale lager at the Tasingtao Brewery in Quingdao, and meet a local family in their Dalian home.

Shanghai, China

Shanghai is one of Asia’s most dynamic cities, and one of juxtapositions. It’s divided in two by the Huangpu River—to the west is Puxi and to the east Pudong. Puxi is the city’s downtown and its historic center; it’s here that much of the shopping, dining and nightlife is concentrated.
