Bellevue, WA, January 23, 2013—It’s a dream trip, a beyond imagination trip, but China Spree Travel has  made it not only possible,  but very  affordable. Their 10-day Tibet & Beijing trip starts at only $1,899.  And living up to  China Spree’s motto of “first-class travel at bargain prices,” the $1,899 price includes round-trip air fare from San Francisco  to Beijing; the round-trip flight from Beijing to Tibet; deluxe 4-star  hotels; 23 delicious meals, including daily American buffet breakfasts;  comprehensive sightseeing and entrance fees; and informative and fun tour escorts and guides.

 

There are also special treats like a Peking duck dinner, a rickshaw ride along Old Beijing’s Hutongs (traditional neighborhoods), lunch—with a dumpling-making demo--in a family’s courtyard home, a lecture on Tibetan history and customs, a visit to a Tibetan family home with homemade yak-butter tea, and a lively debate between monks in the Sera Monastery.

 

The tour explores the imperial treasures and stunning modern skyscrapers of China’s proud capital, Beijing, visiting Tiananmen Square (world’s largest public square), the nearly-600-year-old Forbidden City (world’s largest palace), the impressive Temple of Heaven, the idyllic Summer Palace and Marble Boat, the  Ming Tombs and that amazing symbol of the country—the Great Wall of China.

 

Then it’s off to the roof of the world, flying over the spectacular snow-clad Himalaya Mountains and the valleys of the Mekong, Salween and Yangtze rivers, to the 12,000-foot-high Tibetan capital, Lhasa.  There’s time to acclimatize to the altitude and then visits to the monumental Potala Palace,  once the residence of the Dalai Lama;  the Red Palace with its sacred gold stupas; the Sera Monastery and its three monastic colleges; the celebrated Jokhang Temple; the former Summer Palace of the Dalai Lama; and the photogenic Bakhor Street, Lhasa’s oldest market, a medieval bazaar full of kiosks, prayer wheels, chanting monks, pilgrims and vendors selling Tibetan goods. 

 

The hotels include the stunning Traders Hotel Beijing or an equivalent 4-star hotel, and the Jardin Secret Hotel, one of Lhasa’s best, with modern facilities and Tibetan-style architecture.

 

All prices are cash-only, are per person double occupancy and are subject to availability.  Add-on air fares are available from New York, Los Angeles and many other cities.
