The Great Wall of China Trek 2009
Join us on the trip of a lifetime as we trek the Great Wall, visit Beijing and even get the chance to take on a giant 400 feet zip slide!
For a country with the biggest population in the world China remains largely untouched by the West. It is a beautiful country steeped in tradition, history and mythology. For those with a passion for culture and a sense of adventure China leaves an indelible mark on all who go there.
