Days 7-8 Pingyao
This walled city offers a rare glimpse into the architecture of imperial China. Spend the day exploring the temples, houses and museums of this former commercial centre. There may be time to indulge in a relaxing massage.

Days 9-12 Beijing/ Great Wall
The grand city of Beijing is overflowing with ancient, imperial and modern sights. Stroll across Tiananmen Square, explore the Forbidden City, wander through the maze of hutongs and try out your bargaining skills at the many markets.
