Beijing: 9-day sightseeing tour
Days: 9Flight included, chosen at booking
About the programme
Eight days in Beijing are an immersion into imperial history and the modern rhythm of the Chinese capital. The program is structured so that the acquaintance with the city begins with its celestial symbolism, and then leads to great architectural monuments and unexpected contrasts. You will find not only famous sights, but also leisurely walks through old quarters, where time seems to slow down.
Each day is filled with excursions with a Russian-speaking guide, lunches in Chinese cuisine restaurants and free time. The rhythm of the trip allows alternating intense trips out of town with less strenuous days in the center. One of the days is entirely given to a huge amusement park — this is a rest for those who want to switch from history to attractions (transfer without a guide, ticket for an additional fee).
The route covers both the main symbols of Beijing — the Great Wall of China, the Forbidden City, Tiananmen Square, and less obvious places: a zoo with a panda house, a lamaist palace, parks and old alleys. For thrill-seekers, a trip to a gorge with a glass observation deck is provided, and alternatively — tian yun shan mountain or the Gubei water town (for an additional fee).
The trip is suitable for those who want to see China without haste, with hotels and well-thought-out logistics. The flight is included, as are most entrance tickets. This is a rich but balanced journey, where each day reveals a new facet of Beijing.
