Your next stop is Beijing. After a night at your Beijing hotel, you'll begin your Beijing tour with visits to the Forbidden City, the Temple of Heaven and many other mystical places. A short flight takes you to your next destination, Xian. In Xian, the Mausoleum of Emperor Qinshi Huangdi is an astonishing sight and a stop at the Hua Qing Hot Springs is a welcome respite. Guilin is the next stop on your Shanghai tour and its mountainous views and rock formations offer hours of viewing pleasure.
