Visit Beijing, home of the 2008 Summer Olympics.  Beijing is a fascinating capital with a treasure of beautifully preserved palaces, tombs and relics.  See Tiananmen Square, the largest square in the world and the Temple of Heaven, where the Emperors prayed for a good harvest.  Enjoy the Forbidden City, the inner sanctum where for centuries, Chinese Emperors ruled, and the ancient royal resort, the Summer Palace. 

This trip would not be complete without a stop at one of the greatest man made wonders of the world, the Great Wall of China.  You'll likely never forget your first (or second) sight of the Great Wall.  Then on the City of Suzhou.  Renowned for its beautiful stone bridges, pagodas and gardens, you'll enjoy the lingering Garden, one of the four most famous gardens in China.

On the final leg of the trip, visit the city of Hangzhou and it's Lingyin Temple, one of the ten most famous Buddhist temples in China.  Enjoy a boat cruise on West Lake and make your way to Shanghai, the most cosmopolitan city in China.  A Shanghai City tour will take you along the Bund, Shanghai's showpiece, then visit the Garden of the Mandarin Yu and a farewell dinner.
