Itinerary for Borderlands 2010: May 29th -- June 18h



Plan on arriving in Beijing on Sunday, May 30th (this means you need to depart the US on Saturday afternoon, the 29th). You will be met at Beijing's International Airport and escorted to our city hotel. After checking in, you can rest after the long flight before our 'welcome' dinner.





After a brief city orientation on Monday morning, we will visit Tiananmen Square and the National Museum. The afternoon is free for you to explore Beijing.

On Tuesday, June 1st, we will visit the National Minorities Institute, where faculty members will discuss state policies and answer your questions about ethnic relations in China. In the afternoon we will visit the Lama Temple, the most famous Buddhist temple in Beijing.















On Wednesday morning, June 2nd we will visit the Forbidden City as well as Jingshan Park, located directly behind the City. The afternoon will be free. Thursday morning is our expedition to the Great Wall at Mutianyu, approximately two hours north of Beijing. Following this, you should start packing for our field journey. After checking out of our hotel on Friday afternoon, June 4th, we will depart for Lanzhou, capital of Gansu Province, by train, a journey of approximately twenty hours. But don't worry; you will have comfortable sleeping accomodations on board.
