A MEMORABLE ADVENTURE IN A LAND WITH SURPRISESa
Your journey begins at one of China 's most imposing landmarks, the Great Wall -- the only man-made object on earth that can be seen from space with the naked eye. Beijing, your next destination, is on a scale that matches the Great Wall's, for its home to some 13 million people. There you'll try tantalizing Peking Duck and watch the legendary Peking Opera, then peer inside the walls of the mysterious Forbidden City. Next, you'll set sail down the Grand Canal, the largest man-made waterway in the world, and visit the Temple of Hell, where tourists take good-natured "tests" to see if their souls are worthy of heaven. In Hong Kong, you'll travel to the top of Victoria Peak for a breathtaking view and ride the Star Ferry, one of the best sightseeing bargains in the world. Your visit ends as you watch beautiful birds migrate to the wetlands of the New Territories.
