Page 14 - 23 Day China Sample

DAY 08 BEIJING Meals included: Lunch A thrilling day! At 8:30 AM be ready in the lobby of The Four Seasons Hotel in preparation for a full-day exploring the Great Wall. Visit the Mutianyu section of the extraordinary 2000 - year-old Great Wall of China, one of the most spectacular structures ever built by man. The wall snakes its way from east to west for nearly 4,000 miles. The Great Wall was built and rebuilt by a succession of Chinese emperors to keep out the marauding hordes of nomads who from time to time swept into China - in much the same way as the wind from the Gobi still sweeps in seasonal sand storms which suffocate the city. Enjoy a cable car ride to the peak where you will have spectacular views of the area. You will also have time to climb the wall at your own pace. Overnight: The Four Seasons Hotel – Deluxe Room
