Start the journey in Beijing where you can see thousands of years of history from the dynasties of the Forbidden City to the more recent Chinese history of Tiananmen Square. In the evening you will experience China’s unique version of opera at the Peking Opera which goes beyond music to blend mime and acrobatics into the performance. Jade has long been prized by the Chinese for its durability and beauty and a visit to a Jade workshop will demonstrate why the Chinese value this ornamental stone. Guests will enjoy a meal of Peking duck which originated in Beijing and have become a national symbol of China.
