Five thousand years of wow.
Walking on the Great Wall is one of the world’s great travel moments. As it snakes over the mountains outside Beijing, it’s easy to see why it’s considered a wonder of the world. Back in the city, the Forbidden City and the Temple of Heaven reveal centuries of imperial history.
Then fly to Shanghai, where the glittering skyline of Pudong faces the historic Bund across the river. Days are filled with gardens, markets and amazing food, and nights with rooftop bars and some of the most spectacular city views anywhere.
