Starting with the Great Wall of China, the Forbidden City and the Ming Tombs outside of Beijing and finishing with the Taj Mahal and palaces of Rajasthan you will visit such widely differing sights as the Terra Cotta warriors, the Potala palace in Tibet and the busy mediaeval laneways of Kathmandu.
