Continue to the iconic Bund Riverside Promenade, where colonial-era architecture lines the waterfront and sweeping views of the futuristic Pudong skyline create one of Asia’s most striking cityscapes—especially captivating at sunset and after dark.

Wander through grand halls, ceremonial courtyards, and richly decorated chambers that reveal the power and mystique of China’s dynastic past. Continue to the enchanting Summer Palace, a harmonious blend of landscaped gardens, temples, and pavilions set around Kunming Lake, once a royal retreat for emperors seeking respite from the city.
Stand in awe atop the legendary Great Wall of China, a monumental feat of engineering stretching over rugged mountains and rolling countryside. Built more than 2,000 years ago, this iconic structure offers breathtaking panoramic views and a profound sense of China’s historical ambition and resilience.
Indulge in a culinary highlight with a traditional Peking duck dinner, expertly prepared and served with classic accompaniments and paired with wine—an essential gastronomic experience that reflects Beijing’s rich food heritage.
