Live Our Beijing Stories With a 10-Day China Adventure at a Major Discount

Where: China
September 17, 2009 at 9:07 AM | by Heidi Atwal | 1 Comment

Hopefully you are following Jaunted correspondent Claire Duffett's China travel diary, a series of entries which chronicles her journey around the country in vivid, first-person detail. If Claire's travels, the recent Olympic games, or China's captivating history in general have inspired you to take a trip there yourself, then thank the deal deities for shining down on you.

Friendly Planet Travels, an "all-inclusive escorted" tour company is currently offering their popular "Taste of China" package at a discount of up to $600, provided you act quickly and book your spot by September 23rd. The tour starts in Beijing, where a guide will show you around Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City, the Summer Palace, and the Panda Zoo. While most stretches of the 10-day tour are guided, you do get free time to wander the included cities on your own. Other stops on the excursion include Xi'an and Shanghai, where more gardens, art museums, and the Pearl Tower await.

The discounted prices are noted on Friendly Planet's website, but as you can see, most of the 2009 and 2010 tour dates are already sold out. However, we count at least six more tours with openings at prices from $999 to $1299 per person, double occupancy, including airfare, but not including taxes, Visa fees, and upgrades. For a couple hundred dollars extra, you can get a Hong Kong extension to your trip, a good investment that could easily turn that "taste" of China into a full-on buffet session.

    Oops! Not $600.00,,,

    Your headline leads one to believe that the cost of the trip is $600.00 . It is not. It is $600.00 off the regular price meaning that that cheapest trip costs $999.00.
