Beijing (4N) tour
We visit Beijing to immerse ourselves in the heart of Imperial China...thrilling to the sheer size of Tiananmen Square, which can hold over 1 million people. Adjoining it is the Forbidden City, home to 24 emperors over a span of more than 500 years. The Temple of Heaven is China's most revered shrine...the place where emperor's came to give thanks for good harvests. It is an exquisite park, where Beijing residents come to work and play. Outside the city is the gorgeous Summer Palace...where emperors chose to spend the summer months...overlooking beautiful Kunming Lake. The Great Wall, the ultimate Chinese symbol...beckons you to climb it, to challenge yourself, to huff and puff...and then descend satisfied. And Beijing is an elegant city, with masses of entertainment, shopping and eating experiences...Dragon Holidays welcome you!
