Beijing To Shanghai

Beijing: Day 1 - Meet your fellow dragons and your Adventure Leader at 10am in the Time Hostel and take part in your first Mandarin lesson. (You won’t be staying at this hostel, but will be able to use their facilities). You will then board a bus and make your way to The Great Wall in the afternoon. When you arrive you will all take part in a scavenger hunt around Beijing's streets. As a group, you will eat dinner at a local farm and then begin your hike to an unrestored section of the wall, where we will have the place to ourselves! When you arrive you will set up camp and settle down to watch the sunset over the Wonders of the World before pitching up your tent for a night camping. (Please note, due to cold weather before the end of April and after September, we stay in a guest house near the Wall instead of camping but still return to the Wall to watch the sunrise in the morning). 

Beijing: Day 2 - Wake up early and watch an incredible sunrise over the wall. At 9am you will return to Beijing where you will spend the rest of the day doing your own thing. However, you can take part in some of our suggested optional activities - (Visit the Forbidden City. The largest palatial complex in the world or explore Jingshan park for incredible views of the Forbidden City, Temple of Heaven, and Tiananmen Square or enjoy the incredible Beijing Acrobatics Show and sample one of Beijing ́s signature dishes: famous Peking Roast Duck).

Beijing: Day 3 - In the morning you can take part in our suggested optional activity - (Visit a local fake goods market and the Temple of Heaven, an imperial complex of religious buildings). In the evening you can take part in an optional activity - (Visit the Nanluo district, a narrow alleyway that combines both old and new traditional architecture. You can spend some time browsing the local shops or you can relax at one of the many bars or cafes).
