 China Spree’s Newest  Special: 12 Days, 6 Cities from $1,499

Bellevue, WA, September 3, 2013—China Spree, the popular tour operator that gets rave reviews from tour participants, is offering a new budget “Special.”  The Middle Kingdom tour, designed for first-time travelers, covers China’s highlights in 12 days for as little as $1,499 (from November through February). Even better, it has more included features than other tours on the market.

 

That price includes round-trip flights from San Francisco, Los Angeles or Houston (New York is $100 more), all intra-China flights and transportation, deluxe hotels with private bath, daily American buffet breakfast, 14 other delicious meals, unique culinary events, special evening shows, sightseeing tours and entrance fees, Culture InSites Program (tour of Old Beijing hutongs and lunch in a family’s courtyard home) and an expert guide in each city.

 

Why Middle Kingdom?  Because in olden times, the Chinese thought their country was the center of the world.  This is your chance to see if it is once again.

 

The journey starts in Beijing, the capital, where you’ll see stunning modern architecture and Tiananmen Square as well as imperial treasures like  the legendary Great Wall, the Forbidden City (from which 24 emperors ruled the Middle Kingdom) and the Summer Palace with its Marble Boat.  In historic Xian you’ll visit China’s greatest archaeological discovery, the Terracotta Warriors and Horses which guarded the first emperor’s tomb for 2,200 years.

 

Then it’s on to Marco Polo’s favorite, Hangzhou, its picturesque West Lake and the Dragon Well Tea Plantation, and Suzhou, a 2,500-year-old city famed for its traditional gardens, ancient canals and silk production.  A side trip takes the group to the charming water town of Tongli and its canals, stone bridges, cobbled lanes and Ming-style houses and shops.

 

The tour finishes in Shanghai, China’s most sophisticated and cosmopolitan city, where you’ll view futuristic Pudong from the top of one of its skyscrapers; visit the Bund, the symbol of colonial Shanghai; take a walk through trendy Xin Tian Di, a refurbished traditional neighborhood full of restaurants, bars and shops; and zoom to the airport on the world’s fastest magnetic levitation train.

 

The accommodations chosen for this tour are all conveniently-located, comfortable, stylish  4- and 5-star hotels, including a Marriott, a Pan Pacific and the Traders Hotel Beijing by Shangri-La.

 

All prices are cash-only, are per person, double occupancy and are subject to availability.  For more detailed information about The Middle Kingdom tour, log onto www.chinaspree.com and click “China Tours,” then “Specials.”  China Spree’s toll-free telephone number is 1-866-652-5656.
