Participants will experience their subjects by visiting the Great Wall, the Summer Palace (home to China’s largest imperial garden), the Forbidden City, Tian’anmen Square, the site of Mao Zedong’s Mausoleum, the Great Hall of the People, museums and the underground tomb of Emperor Qin Shi Huang; guarded by more than 7,000 life-size Terra Cotta warriors and horses.
