enjoy a sightseeing tour that includes the Forbidden City’s Imperial
Palace,
once the sacred home of China’s great emperors, and Tian’anmen Square,
the largest
public square in the world and where the People’s Republic of China was
proclaimed in 1949. See the former Imperial
Summer Palace, a complex of pavilions, temples, and galleries
situated on Kunming Lake. No vacation to China is complete without
seeing the Great Wall of China,
and on this tour, you get a chance to walk along the wall to enjoy
sweeping vistas of this mammoth fortress. After lunch in a local
restaurant, take a leisurely walk down the Sacred Way of the Ming
Tombs.
Experience life in a historic neighborhood while enjoying a rickshaw
ride through one of Beijing’s hutongs, the city’s ancient alleys, and
enjoy a night at the Peking Opera.
Fly to Xi’an in central China
and visit the Dayan Pagoda,

chef and learn how Chinese noodles are made by hand. Also in Xi’an,
marvel at the army of Terracotta
Warriors that guarded China’s first emperor’s tomb for 2,000
years. Next, your tour takes you to Shanghai,
China’s most populous city and center of trade and industry. Visit the
Children’s Palace, one of China’s famous kindergartens. The Shanghai
Museum and Yu Yuan Gardens provide the perfect
