This 8-day journey takes us through one of the most historically rich regions of China — from the ancestral temple of the State of Jìn 晉國 at Jìn Cí 晉祠, to the monumental Tianlong Mountain Grottoes 天龍山石窟, the dramatic Xuankong Temple 懸空寺 suspended along a cliff face, and the sacred peaks of Wutai Mountain 五台山.

We will walk through the streets of Ancient Pingyao 平遙, once the financial heart of China, explore grand merchant residences such as the Qiao Family Compound 喬家大院, witness the power of the Yellow River at Hukou Waterfalls 壺口瀑布, and visit the Jin State Museum 晉國博物館 to trace the rise and legacy of one of early China’s most influential states.

And for those interested in genealogy, a meaningful stop awaits at Hongdong 洪洞 — home of the Great Pagoda Tree 大槐樹, long associated with some of the largest migration movements in Chinese history.
