10 Days China Biking Adventure Tour Package
Duration: 10 Days / 9 Nights Priced From: $8,995 pp dbl. occ. Dates: Oct, Apr, Oct Start/Finish: Beijing / Shanghai


We realize it’s a big claim, but this might just be the most exciting point in China’s history yet. As the most populous country in the world poises to become the most powerful – with the 2008 Olympics bearing down and the economy on fire – the favourite joke among Chinese is that their national bird is the construction crane.
Of course, China’s exciting future rests on the shoulders of one of the world’s oldest civilizations – and understanding the country means seeing not just bustling Beijing, but seeing how ethnic minorities live and cycling through agrarian villages past rice farmers and water buffalo. The way we look at it, you only go to China once.
Trip Highlights • In Beijing, bike from the luxury of the Peninsula Hotel to Tiananmen Square and Old Beijing
• Eat at former President Jiang Zhemin's favourite dumpling restaurant

Tour Accommodations
Peninsula Palace, Beijing
Recently refurbished from top to bottom, the Peninsula Palace was rated China’s top hotel by Travel & Leisure in 2005. We know why! One block away from Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City, its location is fantastic, as are its rooms, amenities, and buffet breakfast.
Banyan Tree Lijiang From the moment you open the gate to your private garden villa, you will sense the magic of Lijiang and the beautifully designed Banyan Tree. The warm rustic colours and Jade Dragon Snow Mountain reflected in your personal outdoor jet pool make your villa the perfect retreat after a glorious day of biking at the foothills of the Himalayas.
