| 11-12 November 2023 | Discovering China: Mysteries in Archaeological Excavation in Guangdong | In the heart of the city of Guangzhou rested a king who ruled the southern tip of China two millennia ago, buried in a jade armor suit with his queen, concubines, and slaves, carrying jewels, spices, and weaponry. These archaeological finds are traceable to the history of the Qin and Han dynasties, the earliest maritime Silk Road trade, and the indigenous culture of South China. We will take you through the hidden garden palace, the stoned streets of five dynasties, the tombs of two South Han monarchs, and the splendours of the architecture and the arts and crafts of historic Canton. |  |

In Shanghai, students will explore the city’s dynamic past and present by visiting iconic landmarks such as the Bund, the Old City, and the towering skyscrapers of Pudong. Moving on to Suzhou, the journey takes a step back in time as students wander through beautiful gardens, ancient water towns, and historical streets.
