Shenzhen, China

Recognized as an “eco-city,” Shenzhen is at the vanguard of China’s green initiatives, emphasizing sustainability, environmental conservation and eco-friendly urban development. Home to one of the world’s largest electric vehicle fleets, the city is actively investing in renewable energy sources, including integrating solar and wind technologies into its power grid. Renowned for its extensive urban greening projects, Shenzhen is restoring and protecting its natural environments to promote biodiversity and combat the rising temperatures caused by urban heat islands.

Chengdu, China

After breakfast, disembark your ship in Shenzhen and transfer to Hong Kong International Airport for your flight. Upon arrival, you will be met by your Viking Representative. Located on the edge of the fertile Red Basin, Chengdu is the capital of Sichuan province in southwest China. More than 2,000 years old, it is thought to be the birthplace of the world’s first widely circulated paper money, so it is no surprise that today it is a modern center of economic, transportation and communication activities. Silk brocade, cotton, wool and satin are still produced here as they have been for centuries. Another tradition, taking tea in a traditional teahouse over a rousing game of mahjong, also still thrives throughout the land. This evening, enjoy time at your leisure at your hotel.
