Beijing and Shanghai Tours & Trips
Ancient and modern capital of China, Beijing is still littered with heritages that showcase those powerful dynasties’ prowess and greatness, most notably the Great Wall of China. Visiting the world’s longest wall built in the mountains is inspiration enough for a first-time trip to China, but there are many more surviving legacy to explore in Beijing, such as the Forbidden City, Temple of Heave, hutongs... Shanghai, on the other side, feels like a metropolis from the future, reflected in the quantity of skyscrapers and a penchant for cutting-edge technology.
