Oakton China Tour Spans Beijing to Shanghai
Travel to Confucian China on a travel/study tour sponsored by Oakton Community College. Three two-week trips are scheduled in 2005, departing April 21, July 11, and Sept. 3.
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, Mount Taishan, and 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. An extended Yangtze River cruise is available at an additional cost.
Oakton offers two additional China tours, one that highlights life along the Yangtze River, and another focusing on trade along the Silk Road. For additional information on all three trips, including complete itineraries and costs, call Bea Cornelissen at 847-635-1812.
