2nd. day

Beijing

Day 2 Beijing

After breakfast, the guide will accompany you to explore some symbolic attractions of Beijing. The first will be Tian’anmen Square. It has witnessed the country's development in the past 500 years and become an important venue for most of the national ceremonies, regarded as the heart of the great nation. Displaying incomparable ancient buildings in front of you, the subsequent exploration in the Forbidden City will enable you to have a deep insight into China's profound history. It is the largest ancient palace complex in the world and also the place that 24 emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties (1368 - 1911) lived in. Your local expert guide will unveil some historical stories to make your trip more interesting. Do you know how the imperial family keep warm in the Forbidden City? The emperor and his big family did never freeze in frigid winter, with stove, heated pit, and underfloor heating. You can witness the remains of ancient underfloor heating when visiting the over 600-year-old imperial palace. There were warm chambers on the east and west sides of a palace; out of the window, you can find a hole below, which is the passageway of underground fire paths all over the warm chamber. Similar to underfloor heating today, the fire flared in all the paths, making the whole room warm. Furthermore, high-quality man-made Hongluo charcoal, the best charcoal in ancient China, was supplied in Forbidden City. This charcoal burned strongly and completely, without soot or worry about gas poisoning.

★ What Makes Us Different
We will plan 2-3 hours for the exploration in the Forbidden City, to ensure you will not miss any important palace or exhibition; meanwhile, our knowledgeable guide will have enough time to tell you some interesting anecdotes behind the grand architecture and precious treasures.

★ A La Carte Welcome Lunch with Peking Roast Duck
China is a gourmet kingdom. A visit to China is not complete without tasting its delicious food. So, we will carefully select some good local restaurants for you to enjoy authentic Chinese food, rather than taking you to those touristy canteens for the purpose of filling the belly only. Around noon today, an a la carte welcome lunch (valued at CNY150.00 per person and included in our price) will be specially served at a noted restaurant. You may order the dishes per your preference with assistance of the guide.

Coming to Beijing, you must try Peking Roast Duck, one of the most famous local dishes. The restaurant we select for you today is good at making the duck. It is roasted with fruit wood charcoals, appearing to be bright red and tasting crispy outside, tender inside, mellow, fat but not greasy. After being served, the chef will slice it right in front of you and teach you how to enjoy it.

After lunch, continue to explore Yonghe Temple and Temple of Heaven. Two emperors Yongzheng (1678 - 1735) and Qianlong (1711 - 1799) once lived in the Yonghe Temple when they were still princes. In addition, Emperor Yongzheng’ coffin was placed here after he died. So, different from other prince mansions, its roofs are uniquely covered by yellow tiles instead of green ones to imply its higher rank. It is now a popular Buddhist shrine. The Temple of Heaven is the imperial altar for the emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties to worship the God of Heaven for good harvests.

Finally, we will transfer you back to the hotel by the private car.

Meals: Western buffet breakfast, A la carte welcome lunch

3rd. day

Beijing

Day 3 Beijing

Today, the guide will accompany you to take the private car for about 1.5 hours to visit the astonishing Mutianyu Great Wall. No visitor can help feeling the excitement of witnessing the majesty and grandeur of the walls. As one of the most popular sections of the China Great Wall, Mutianyu, like a soaring dragon, stretches along the mountain ranges. You will be deeply impressed by the undulating walls, spectacular watchtowers, and splendid mountain scenery around.

★ What Makes Us Different
To avoid over 600 mountain steps, we will include a round-way cable car ride for you at Mutianyu Great Wall. If you prefer more thrilling chairlift up and toboggan down, even on the spot, the guide will adjust it for you accordingly. You don't need to pay any more.

Lunch is not included today, but our guide will offer suggestions on restaurants nearby.

Return to the city in the afternoon. En route, we will drive by the Bird's Nest(National Stadium), the venue of the 2008 Olympic Games. You will see the full view of the huge 'nest' from a distance. Take this chance to add some memorable photos in your album. Then, proceed to Shichahai, an area preserving many ancient Hutongs and traditional folk yards - Siheyuan. A rickshaw ride lasting for around 40 minutes and a family visit will be arranged to make the trip more interesting.

At the end of the day, we will transfer you back to the hotel. There is a famous bar street at Shichahai. If you prefer to stay longer there to explore local night life, just inform the guide and he or she will lead you there before saying goodbye.

Day 4 Beijing to Xi'an by High Speed Train
This morning, you will visit the Summer Palace , which is the largest and best preserved royal garden in the world. The whole garden mainly consists of the Longevity Hill and the Kunming Lake, ingeniously linked by the Long Corridor, seven hundred twenty-eight meters (796.2 yards) in length and whose beams are decorated by exquisite paintings.

★ An Exciting High Speed Train Ride from Beijing to Xi’an
Although coming to China for sightseeing, you may want to learn something else about this rapidly developing country and high speed train is one of the must-dos. The guide will escort you to the railway station and help you board a high speed train to Xi'an. It usually takes 5.5 hours, but we will try our best to reserve a seat on one of those with the shortest duration of about 4.5 hours. It runs fast at a speed up to 350km/h (217 mph), but unbelievably steady.



On arriving, you will be picked up by the guide in Xi'an and transferred to the hotel.

Xi'an

Day 5 Xi'an
Your private Xi’an tour will start from the Eighth Wonder of the World, Terracotta Army Museum. You will not only be attracted by the life-sized warrior figures and horses, each of which has distinct facial expressions and positions, but also be astonished by various kinds of ancient weapons which reflect the highly advanced technology in weapon-making 2,200 years ago.

Have lunch on your own today. Our guide will show you some restaurants around the site and assist you with the menu.

★ What Makes Us Different

► Walk into the Home of the Farmer Who Discovered the Terracotta Army
After, visit the home of Mr. Yang Zhifa, the very man who discovered the Terracotta Army after being buried underground for over 2,200 years. At his home, you will learn more stories behind the meaningful discovery, see the hoe used to dig the clay warrior, the wooden cart to carry it, and the replica of the first discovered terracotta figure. You may also want to take a photo with him.

► Make a Mini Terracotta Figure and Take It Home
Following, we will specially arrange for you an interesting handwork of a terracotta figure at a local workshop. You can either make a general, a soldier, or even the first emperor of China- Emperor Qin Shihuang following the artisan. The figure will be about 11 cm (4 in) tall and the clay you will use is dug out from 7-9 m (23-30 ft) underground, the same as that used to make Terracotta Army in ancient time.

Next, return to downtown and visit Shaanxi History Museum, one of the largest and most significant museums in China housing many rare historical excavations. Today’s tour will end here and the guide will transfer you back to the hotel.

Tonight if still energetic, you are advised to explore the Great Tang All Day Mall, a two-thousand-meter-long street for you to relive both the economic and cultural prosperity of Tang Dynasty (618 - 907). It is very close to your hotel. If needed, the guide will drop you off there directly.

If you are able to ride a bicycle, we suggest you to rent one to cycle around on the wall, which will be a memorable and exciting experience. Next, the guide will lead you to visit the time-honored Great Mosque. Then have a stroll in the lively Muslim Quarter surrounding it.

★ Enjoy a Big Feast of Xi’an Snacks
Xi’an snacks are famous all over China, and we will for sure include them in this private 10 days China tour package. The Muslium Quarter, gathering all noted local snacks, is the best choice. Today’s lunch will be served at a highly rated restaurant there. You can have a taste of hot oil noodles, Xi’an Sandwich (Rou Jia Mo), fried dumplings, crumbled flatbread in mutton stew (Yangrou Paomo), glutinous rice with jujube (Zeng Gao) and more.

In the afternoon, visit Han Yang Ling Museum on the way to the airport, which was built to protect the Mausoleum of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty (202 BC - 220 AD). In the underground museum, the relics and ruins remain in their original location without any moves. You can see the ancient Chinese burial customs very closely.

After, send you onto the flight to Guilin. On arrival, our guide based there will transfer you to the hotel, also by a private air-conditioned car.
