What you can expect

Take a short flight from Shanghai to the capital of the People’s Republic of China for a full-day historical, political, and cultural extravaganza. Enjoy the bustling city as well as visiting unmistakable attractions including the Great Wall, Forbidden City, and Tiananmen Square with an expert guide.

After pickup from your hotel and transport to Hongqiao Airport, board a flight to brilliant Beijing. With the help of a personal guide, start your tour of the politically active destination with a visit to the Forbidden City. Walk through the Imperial Palace, containing hundreds of brilliantly decorated rooms and marvel at the decadent architecture which reflect the city's wealth. Continue your stroll to the south where Tiananmen Square lies, world renowned as the site of the bloody protests of 1989.

Then, explore more of Beijing as you take some great images of monuments including the Great Hall of the People, the Monument to the Peoples’ Heroes, and the Mausoleum of Mao Zedong. Embrace the atmosphere as you listen to stories from the reign of Kublai Khan in the 13th century, before travelling to your final stop.

Reach the Great Wall of China and immediately appreciate the sheer size of one of the greatest fortifications in human history. Make good use of your walking shoes here as you begin your climb to the top of the 2000-year old monumental attraction, sighting postcard-perfect views of rural China. Fly back to Shanghai after an unforgettable day in Beijing.
