Beijing to Shanghai on Oakton's China Journey
Travel to Confucian China on a two-week travel/study tour sponsored by Oakton Community College. Three departure dates are available in 2006: April 8, July 8, and Sept. 16.
Start in Beijing with a walk along the Great Wall and a visit to the Forbidden City. Journey to Xi'an, home of 6,000 life-size terra cotta guards that protect the burial site of China's unifying emperor, Qin Shi Huang. Travel to Qufu, birthplace of Confucius, and tour the Temple of Confucius. Cruise the Grand Canal and learn ancient secrets at the Silk Factory and Embroidery Institute. Finally, stop in Shanghai and visit the Temple of the Jade Buddha and the Shanghai Museum of Art and History. A Yangtze River cruise is available at additional cost.
Oakton offers two additional China tours; one tour highlights life along China's Yangtze River, and the other concentrates on the famed Silk Road. For additional information on all three trips, including costs and complete itineraries, call Bea Cornelissen at 847-635-1812.
