Happy Chinese New Year!

Jan 13, 2012

This January 23, put on some red clothes, take your best shot at saying “Xin Nian Kuai Le” (it’s “Happy New Year” in Chinese and is pronounced sin-nien-kway-leh), and sign up for our trip to China, March 17-26!

Chinese New Year, the fifteen-day celebration of the start of the Chinese lunar calendar, may be one of the world’s most celebrated festivals. Enduring thousands of years of history, it may even be one of the world’s most traditional parties. The coming Year of the Water Dragon, a special occurrence in the Chinese Zodiac every sixty years, promises even larger extravaganzas than usual.

Our trip in March will allow you to embark on the journey of a lifetime and discover 5,000 years of history as you share the untamed spirit and rich culture of China.  From the magnificent Terra Cotta Warriors of Xian to the vast Great Wall of China, and the Jewish Community of Shanghai from the 1920’s – 1940’s, experience major attractions, authentic cuisine and culturally-inspired entertainment.  Explore vibrant cities and ancient empires of long ago.
