| Itinerary： |

Your trip starts today with your arrival in Beijing. No activities are planned,so arrive early if you can, as there is plenty to see.There will be a pre-departure briefing with your tour leader late this afternoon. |
|
| Days 2-4 Beijing： |
Day 2 We are going to wander the Tiananmen Square and visit the Forbidden City. Day 3 we are going to have a hiking tour in Mutianyu Great Wall.Day 4 Free morning until the time to catch the train to Datong. We stay in six-berth cabins that have an open and relaxed feel about them.A blanket, sheets and a pillow are provided, although some people may wish to bring their own inner sheet.Travelling on the train is a great way to mix with the locals and practice your Chinese-language skills.Beijing is a thriving metropolis and home to over 16 million people.Over the next couple of days, we explore many of its main attractions. The Forbidden City,built over 500 years ago, has been off limits to commoners until about 100 years ago.After entering through an archway beyond Tiananmen Gate,we spend the morning exploring this huge complex and marvel at the many intricate carvings that adorn its buildings.A visit to China is not complete without taking a walk along the Great Wall. We head out of Beijing and climb the wall at Mutianyu,approximately a two-and-a-half hour drive northeast of the capital.This section of the wall is in reasonable condition,but the climb itself is still quite steep and it is fairly broken away at the top. Hence,good walking shoes are a must. For those not wishing to climb,there is a cable car that will take you up the mountainside. From here you can make your way down the wall at your own pace-the surrounding views are amazing. There is ample free time to explore the many other sights of Beijing, such as the Summer Palace and the Temple of Heaven,or just kick back and soak up the atmosphere of this historic and vibrant metropolis.On Sunday evening we board the sleeper train for Datong.You can either purchase dinner on the train or buy some food prior to boarding. We stay in six-berth air-conditioned cabins that have an open and relaxed feel about them. A blanket, sheets and a pillow are provided,although some people may wish to bring their own inner sheet. Travelling on the train is a great way to mix with the locals and practice your Chinese-language skills. |
