The ten days in China
Beijing and Shanghai, China · 2026
- Day 1
Arrival in Beijing
Arrive in Beijing and take a taxi or book a car to our hotel. I will have already arrived, and if you let me know, I will be there to greet you. We gather for dinner at the hotel, and I share information about the journey.
- Day 2
The Great Wall, and the Hongluo Temple to Kuan Yin
The Great Wall of China, an integrated defence system of walls, signal towers and fortresses stretching approximately 21,196 kilometres. Then the Hongluo Temple: a climb of about a thousand steps past many different statues of Kuan Yin, to the Guanyin Temple at the summit, believed to be particularly efficacious for those seeking blessings for childbirth. For those who find the climb challenging, there is a scenic slide.
- Day 3
The Temple of Heaven, the hutongs and the Forbidden City
The Temple of Heaven, the largest architectural complex for worshipping Heaven in the world, built over one of the most beautiful and powerful Kuan Yin shrines in all of China. Then Beijing’s old hutongs, once the heartbeat of the city, with great shopping and fabulous cheap food, Tiananmen Square, and the Forbidden City, home to 24 Ming and Qing emperors.
- Day 4
The Summer Palace, and the Archaeological Museum
The Summer Palace, a masterpiece of Chinese landscape garden design with over 3,000 ancient buildings. Then the Beijing Archaeological Museum, which has one of the best antiquities collections I have seen anywhere in the world.
- Day 5
On to Shanghai
An early flight to Shanghai, and we settle into our hotel.
- Day 6
Jade, pearls and the old markets
After a delicious breakfast, the most famous market in Shanghai. Kuan Yin’s sacred stone is green jade and her sacred jewel is the pearl, and we visit a wholesale merchant of both, buying everything at 70% off the usual price. Then the very old Chinese markets, where bargaining is the key, and if you are nervous… I will help you!
- Day 7
The Donglin Temple, and the water city
The Donglin Temple, dedicated to Kuan Yin, the bodhisattva of compassion. First built in 1308, it is truly magnificent and has several Kuan Yin halls. After lunch, Zhujiajiao, the “Venice of China”, a fascinating water town of canals, little alleys and markets.
- Day 8
The French Concession, and private entry to the Donghai Kuan Yin Temple
A very special day. In the morning, the Former French Concession, quiet and lined with European villas from the early 20th century. After lunch, the Donghai Kuan Yin Temple, where we have private entry, followed by a special banquet and a cultural exchange.
- Day 9
The Jing’an Temple, and the silk factory
The Jing’an Temple, the Temple of Peace and Tranquility, which has a huge statue of Kuan Yin. After lunch, a nearly 100-year-old silk mill, to see the silkworms and cocoons, the reeling and the weaving. Then back to our hotel for our farewell dinner.
- Day 10
Farewell
After breakfast you are taken to the airport, to fly home, or… on to more adventures with me in Egypt!
