Grasslands & the Great Wall: Inner Mongolia & Beijing

Go beyond Beijing on a nine-day journey that places Inner Mongolia’s grasslands and desert at the centre of the experience. After the Summer Palace, take high-speed rail to Hohhot and continue to the Xilamuren Grassland for a yurt stay, Mongolian milk tea, traditional dress and an evening bonfire. Explore Ordos, Genghis Khan’s mausoleum and Xiangshawan Desert by camel, cable car and mini-train before returning to Beijing for Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City, the Great Wall and an acrobatic performance. Return Malaysia Airlines flights, four-star accommodation, daily meals, ground transport, experiences and tipping are included. Halal arrangements throughout make this a distinctive and accessible alternative to the standard China circuit.
