 Trip Overview

 

 The adventure begins in Beijing, the capital of China, and includes a visit to Tian An Men Square and the Temple of Heaven, built in 1420 A.D.  Sightseeing travel is provided on comfortable excursion busses with an English-speaking guide and includes trips to the Palace Museum, the Summer Palace, Kunming Lake and Longevity Hill, Seventeen-Arch Bridge and Marble Boat.

 

There is also a tour bus excursion to the Great Wall, the 4,000-mile long and 2,000 year old construction, and Ming Tombs, where one of 13 Ming Emperor’s Tombs is fully excavated and open for exploration.

 

Halfway through the trip, participants fly to Shanghai and then take a tour bus trip to Suzhou to see the Lingering Garden, Tiger Hill, Hanshan Temple and enjoy an evening dinner show of traditional Chinese music. 

 

Other highlights include an optional Business Partners’ Dinner/Conference; the Lingyin Temple, featuring a camphor-wood carved Buddha standing at 64.3 feet tall; a boat cruise on West Lake; visits to jewel-like pagodas and tea houses, and Yu Garden, which is a maze of pavilions, ponds and over-arching trees; and the Bund Waterfall Park.  Several optional additional tours are available at minimal fees.
