Beijing

Arrive and be greeted by our tour representatives at the airport and be escorted to the hotel where we will be staying for following three nights. (Dinner)

After breakfast, enjoy a tour with the impressive sights and sounds of the historical Tiananmen Square and the ancient Forbidden City which is the largest imperial palace ever built in the world. Next, stop by the Temple of Heaven which was built in the 1420s. The historical temple is the best preserved and largest sacrificial building complex to date. After lunch, we will experience a spectacular traditional Rick Shaw tour around in Hu Tong. During that evening, we will end things off with a famous acrobatic show of Chinese performers spinning, leaping, and moving in acrobatic fashion. (Breakfast/Lunch/Dinner)

To start off the mourning, we will pass by the Olympic 08 Stadiums: the Birds Nest and the Water Cube which are both magnificent pieces of modern architecture by the Chinese-making of their interpretation of Olympic symbolism. Afterwards, we will make our way towards the Great Wall - this Wonder of the World was built over 2600 years ago and it is a “must-see-in-person” experience. We will continue our journey onwards to the Summer Palace - built in the 1750s as a royal recreational resort for Chinese empires and their families and among its famous features are the 700 meter long corridor with its wonderful painted galleries, the Marble Barge and the magnificently painted pavilions and pagodas. For the remainder of the day, enjoy time for your own leisure to explore and shop at the Cloisonne Factory while the evening’s dinner will be a feast of the famous Peking duck. (Breakfast/Lunch/Dinner)

After breakfast, you will have some free time to explore Beijing on your own. Afterwards, be prepared to be escorted back to the airport for your return flight back home. (Breakfast)
