Today, we'll uncover the stories behind Beijing's most iconic landmarks. Roam China's largest city square, see the resting place (from the outside) of the founding father of the People's Republic of China, and explore the legendary Forbidden City. Then, trade grand boulevards for Beijing's historic Hutongs on a rickshaw ride, enjoy lunch with a local family, and visit a tea factory for sips and stories.
(Please note that daily restrictions apply to tickets for the Forbidden City. The Temple of Heaven will be offered as an alternative if tickets aren't available.)Tonight, we're hopping aboard an overnight train to Xi'an. Settle into your sleeper train, watch Beijing disappear into the night and let the adventure roll on.
