Tour Description
Beijing is the capital of the People's Republic of China, and has been a center of politics, economics and culture since the reign of Kublai Kahn in the 13th century. Our tour begins at the very heart of Beijing in Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City, site of the largest imperial palace in the world and its’ “thousands of brilliant rooms.” We shall also tour the surrounding architecture of the Great Hall of the People, the Monument to the Peoples’ Heroes, and Chairman Mao’s mausoleum. In the afternoon, we will travel to the Badaling section of the Great Wall – one of the “Eight Wonders of the World,” and explore the best preserved section of this more than 2000 year oldmonumental attraction. Here, you can climb the wall and take in a breathtaking panoramic view at the top.
The Great Wall is a symbol of Chinese civilization, and one of the wonders that the Chinese people have created. Badaling Great Wall, the most representative part, was promoted as a key national cultural relic, protected under the approval of the State Council in 1961. In 1988, it was enlisted in the World Cultural Heritage Directory by UNESCO. On July 7, 2007, it gained the worldwide reputation once again: it was listed among the New Seven Wonders of the World
