- Day 1 - Depart the U.S. for China. Cross the International Dateline.
- Day 2 - Beijing: Arrive in Beijing, located in the north and the capital city of China. Beijing is China's sprawling cultural and political center, as well as a central base to many fascinating sites. Few other Chinese cities offer such a concentrated view of ancient and modern China. Your Club ABC Tours host will meet you at the airport and transfer to your hotel.
- Day 3 - Beijing: Begin your Beijing exploration. You can select an optional guided full-day tour of Beijing. The tour features the incomparable Forbidden City, home to two dynasties spanning 500 years. This architecturally stunning 200-acre compound, with more than 800 buildings and 9,000 rooms, houses a vast collection of imperial treasures and cultural artifacts. Visit the Summer Palace, home to China's largest imperial garden. You can also visit Tian'anmen Square, the world's largest public square, and site of Mao Zedong's Mausoleum and the Great Hall of the People. You can also explore the city on your own. (Breakfast)
- Day 4 - Beijing: No visit to Beijing would be complete without an excursion to see the Great Wall, truly one of the greatest feats of human engineering, stretching nearly 4,000 miles long. Construction on the Great Wall began in the 7th century B.C., with final additions completed in 16th century A.D. and was originally built to keep out invaders of the north. You'll also see "Mingshisan Ling" or Ming Tombs, a final resting place for 13 Emperors of the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644A.D.). Built into Beijing's scenic foothills, its splendidly carved stone animals dramatically line the road on your approach. (Breakfast)
- Day 5 - Beijing: Today you can continue exploring on your own, or you can select a full day guided optional Hutong Tour, featuring the old back streets of the city and the Temple of Heaven. This masterpiece of Ming architecture, the "Tiantan", or Temple of Heaven, was built for imperial sacrifices conducted on the summer and winter solstices, and is one of Beijing's grandest attractions. Tonight you might want to attend the traditional Peking Opera. (Breakfast)
- Days 6 & 7 - Beijing: Spend two days at leisure in Beijing, visiting imperial sites or shopping at some of the many interesting shops. Enjoy an optional Peking Duck Dinner and Opera Show one evening. (Breakfast)
- Day 8 - Beijing/U.S.: Transfer to the airport for your flight home. Cross the International Dateline and regain the day you lost at the start of your trip. (Breakfast)
