SAN FRANCISCO, Ca – (February 18, 2009) – Imperial Tours has introduced a new itinerary for luxury travelers interested in exploring the unique geography and minority cultures of Western China and the Tibet Autonomous Region.

The 10-day/9-night Unique Destinations Tour will depart from Chengdu on October 18 and continue to Lijiang, Shangri-la, and Lhasa. The itinerary includes the best accommodations in each city, all meals, domestic flights within China/Tibet, ground transportation, services of local guides and drivers, gratuities, airport/hotel taxes and personal concierge service from a bilingual Western China Host. Guests will enjoy experiences such as a visit to the Panda Research Institute and an exclusive, private horse-racing show in a Tibetan village.
