Qingdao is a famous resort town and Beijing has so many places to go and things to do!
Consider arriving the night before, as the group heads off to the famous Laoshan Mountain on the day that you start your sector. Arriving the night before by pre booking an extra night at the hostel (via our website) will mean you don't miss this great day trip. The first night of your sector is often spent with the group exploring the Qingdao nightlife, and has been known to end with Karaoke! The next day is a free day to explore the "Old Town" of Qingdao, perhaps the German quarter or lay on the beach with a book or play some beach volleyball, perhaps a bit of sailing? However you spend it, we're sure you'll enjoy Qingdao. After transfer to the train station we'll board the "bullet train" to Beijing. Tickets for this train are often the subject of a "No ticket" response for backpackers, but not for Dragon Bus. Arriving in Beijing you'll have enough time to experience some of the city in the afternoon and the next day. The sector allows you to join us on one of our many guided tours, follow your own senses or for the more spirited go it yourself. The sector ends after you've climbed the Great Wall, which is certain to be a highlight before the sadness arrives as your Dragon Bus Experience is nearing its end! However, to make sure you enjoy your last night make sure you don't miss a mega party at the hostel. |

| Select Departure Date: |   
|
 | Day 1 - Qingdao Qingdao is an amazing place! Plan to have at least two (2) full days to explore this seaside resort City before heading to Beijing with Dragon Bus. If you do, join the group to famous Laoshan Mountain, whose water is used exclusively to make China's most famous beer - Tsingtao (or Qingdao). The mountain is famous and scared Buddhist site as well. Perhaps an additional day to tour the originally German built concession, which is rich in history and German architecture. Hit the beach (in summer) with a book or go for a swim (indoor pools for winter!), but make sure you're at the hostel for our pre departure roof top BBQ! A great cosmopolitan seaside city, before heading with Dragon Bus to Beijing. |

 | Day 3 - Beijing Raise for breakfast anytime you want today, as it's a free day in Beijing. Your options are so many including the 798 Modern Art area could be explored if you wish to fully appreciate its emerging status as one of the world's leading Art areas. The National Sports Stadium, otherwise known as the "Birds Nest" (80 RMB entry) where you could take part in "Simulated" medal presentations at the site of the Beijing 2008 Olympics could be on your agenda? However, "It's Your Choice" but for those wishing to enjoy a night at the Beijing Opera or the amazing Acrobats your western guides will simply organise this. Perhaps just kick back and relax with a DVD in the hostel or on your laptop. |
 | Day 4 - Beijing & Great Wall An early start awaits, but so does the Great Wall the quintessential image of China. Today we'll explore one of the more modern and intact sections before heading back to Beijing. On return we'll head to a Pharmacy that was established to serve the Royal Court of the Qing Dynasty, in the 16th Century, and get an overview of Traditional Chinese Medicine, ohh this includes a 45 Min foot massage! Returning to the Hostel many plan their night ahead! Perhaps you wish to dine like an Emperor with your new friends, and as there are many great places to explore deciding which one is the hardest choice. After dinner hit one of the many bars of this modern metropolis. |
 | Day 5 - Beijing Beijing has so much to do that any sadness knowing your Dragon Bus experience is over should be tempered by getting out and further exploring this great City. The Forbidden City & Tiananmen Square can be experienced after a short walk from the Hostels. The tastes, sounds and life of Beijing are in its people, so walk around the local area, stop in at a local restaurant for a real feeling of the City. Experience, real china with friends the world over with Dragon Bus China. |
