Day by Day
Kochi to Beijing, the Great Wall and the imperial city, a glass platform above the gorge, the bullet train to Shanghai.
The group assembles at Cochin International Airport, meets the Fortune tour manager, and completes check-in and emigration. Board the flight to Beijing via Singapore.
Land at Beijing International Airport, clear immigration, and meet the airport assistant at the coach. China is the world's second most populous country, home to over 1.4 billion people, and the third largest by land area — wide enough to span five time zones and share borders with fourteen countries.
Overnight at the hotel in Beijing.
A full-day city tour opens at Tiananmen Square, one of the largest city squares in the world, ringed by museums, government halls, Chairman Mao's Mausoleum and the Heavenly Gate. Next comes the Forbidden City, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the palace of the Ming and Qing dynasties, a 250-acre city within a city that housed 24 emperors between 1420 and 1911. In the evening, Beijing's famous acrobatic show, a display of balance, strength and gravity-defying stunts.

The excursion to the Great Wall of China, one of the Seven Wonders of the World, a 3,946-mile line of stone and watchtowers that stands as the symbol of the country. The day continues with a jade factory visit and a photo stop at the Bird's Nest Olympic Stadium and the Water Cube, followed by a Chinese lunch. The afternoon covers the Summer Palace, a masterpiece of Chinese garden design, and the Temple of Heaven, built in 1420 under the Ming dynasty, its round northern wall standing for heaven and its square southern wall for earth.
