Itinerary

Day	Destination	Description
Days 1-3	Beijing	The journey commences in one of the world's most impressive cities. Take in iconic sights such as Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City. Admire the impressive Great Wall up close, and relect on the enormity and history of this iconic marvel of ancient engineering. Enjoy some free time and do a bit of independent exploration of Beijings many sights, such as the Temple of Heaven or Lama Temple. In the evenings consider taking in an awe-inspiring acrobatic performance or feasting on traditional Peking duck.
Days 4-5	Xi'an	Uncover ancient history on a day trip to the Terracotta Warriors. Archaeologists believe followers of Emperor Qin sculpted the 6,000 warriors and placed them in battle formation to protect him in the afterlife. Back in Xi'an, why not explore the walled city centre or even join the locals in their daily tai chi practice? Make new friends at Xi'an Huiling, meaning 'wise spirit', a special community project for people with disabilities.
Days 6-7	Suzhou	Grab a bicycle to explore the serene surrounds of Suzhou, taking in the famous gardens, canals and alleyways of this charming town. Top off the experience with an evening performance of traditional music, opera and theatre among the trees and waterfalls of one of the gardens.
Days 8-9	Shanghai	Skyscrapers brush shoulders with colonial architecture in the diverse areas of the Bund and Pudong. Get your bearings in its complex network of traditional Chinese alleyways and be absorbed by art exhibits in the world class Shanghai Museum. There is also plenty of free time to shop up a storm at Yuyuan Bazaar or get a taste of Europe in the French Concession.
