Itinerary
Leeds Castle
Standing in the valley of the River Len, surrounded by verdant lawns and a lake, it appears to rise from the water in the distance, elegant and serene, and is hailed as "the most adorable castle in the world." Each morning, as the sunlight spills onto the tranquil lake, the castle seems like a queen awakened, majestic and graceful. Its unique position in the lake truly embodies the phrase, "the fair maiden is on the other side of the water."
Canterbury
The birthplace of the Church of England, a sacred site of religious spirit. Canterbury Cathedral is one of the oldest and most famous Christian buildings in England, and a pilgrimage site for devout Christians worldwide. In the right-hand corridor by the entrance is Michelangelo's "Peter," a work from when he was 23 years old, capable of moving anyone's heart. The most worthy object of veneration within the cathedral is the Becket Altar under the double-structured central dome designed by Michelangelo, where countless pilgrims repent and seek purification. Secondly, the massive, sturdy Roman columns supporting the dome seem to symbolize the steadfastness of faith.
| White Cliffs of Dover
A popular scenic spot on the south coast of England. A wide hillside is abruptly cleaved, as if by a giant axe, revealing a white cliff tens, even hundreds of meters high, with the boundless blue sea stretching out below. The scene is dreamlike! Similar white cliffs, in varying lengths, can be found along much of the south coast of England. It is said that when viewed from continental Europe, the most striking feature of England is these white cliffs, which are therefore considered a symbol of England.
Greenwich
After Dover, you'll journey south along the River Thames to Greenwich! This World Heritage town is brimming with fascinating maritime history, including the legendary Cutty Sark, once the fastest sailing ship in the world. You'll also see the magnificent Old Royal Naval College, designed by Christopher Wren. After your Greenwich visit, you'll embark on a Thames River cruise, enjoying the beautiful London cityscape, disembarking at Embankment Pier in central London at approximately 18:30. (Please note the coach will terminate in Greenwich; please remember to take your luggage with you).
