A liitle jet-lagged, our travelers spend a day in Beijing before setting off for other parts of China. Places visited : Tian'AnMen Square, the Forbidden City (Palace Museum) plus JingShan and BeiHai parks, all within easy walking distance of each other. Then it is on to DeShengMen to take the bus to BaDaLing Great Wall of China (one can also take a train from Beijing North railway station, near XiZhiMen).

Summer residence of the emperors from the mid-Ming to Qing dynasties. Now a delightful public park / museum and a UNESCO World Heritage site.

LuoYang is one of the Four Great Ancient Capitals of China. The LuoYang Museum features ancient relics dating back to the Xia, Shang, and Zhou dynasties. The LongMen Grottoes, south of the city, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
