Fascinating Beijing,
capital of the People’s Republic of China, is home to
such historic structures as the Forbidden City, with its
acres of pavilions, courtyards and gardens; the elegant
Summer Palace, and Tiananmen Square. During your single
hotel stay, you’ll get to know this fabled spot, and
come to understand the strong Chinese culture. There
will be escorted excursions to important architectural
and cultural locations, and plenty of leisure time to
discover Beijing and the surrounding area, perhaps
taking in the legendary Terra-Cotta Warriors in Xian or
shopping for beautifully-crafted Chinese treasures.
Among the highlights of this extraordinary city stay are
a visit to the world-famous Beijing Zoo to catch a
glimpse of the famous pandas and a walk along a portion
of the 3,700-mile Great Wall of China. You’ll even have
a chance to participate in a time-honored and favorite
pastime of the Chinese - kite flying! Be sure to save
the kite and bring it home as a souvenir. A rickshaw
ride through the narrow ancient streets, a thrilling
performance at the Peking Opera and such authentic
culinary delights as Peking duck and Beijing dumplings
are all sure to delight.

dumplings.
