Beijing and Shanghai

Explore the historic Tiananmen Square, where Mao Tse Tung declared the establishment of Communist China in 1949. Despite this historic occasion, the square is often associated with the tragic events of the 1989 student protests and subsequent government crackdown. Next to the square, visit the impressive People's Hall, China's legislative building, with 32 reception rooms decorated in the unique style of various provinces and cities. Finally, delve into ancient China at the majestic Forbidden City, a massive 9,000-room palace complex protected by a 170 foot-wide moat, which housed China's emperors from 1421 until 1923.
