As group members will arrive at different times there are no arranged activities on Day 1 until our group meeting in the early evening followed by dinner. Please see the notice board in the hotel foyer for details of this meeting.On day 2 we travel north to the Great Wall. An incredible piece of engineering stretching almost 3000km westwards from the mountain ridges north of Beijing, it was originally constructed to protect the Chinese empires from the Mongolian 'barbarians' of the north. Spend the morning of day 3 exploring the vast expanses of Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City. Use your free time to shop in the various markets scattered throughout the city, take a tour of the ancient alleyways (hutongs) in Beijing's Old city or visit the Tibetan Monastery. In the late afternoon of Day 4 board an overnight train to Xi'an.Day 5-6 Xi'an

Chengdu has managed to preserve some of its traditional flavor, so keep a sharp eye out for legendary teahouses and some of the most interesting food in China, including the spicy Sichuan hot pot. We have the rest of day 7 to explore the teahouses and streets of Chengdu,, get a massage and perhaps sample some of the local specialties. Go to the Sichuan cultural performance - a cultural experience not to be missed.On the morning of day 8 we get up early to go to the Panda Breeding and Research Center to witness the conservation efforts being made to save this adorable endangered species.
