Evening

It’s traditional Chinese hotpot for dinner. Fuel up – you’ve got a busy day tomorrow.

Hop on a bus to Huairou on the outskirts of the city. Take part in a raft building activity and test your raft out on the water!

Afternoon

Then, move on to the thrilling via ferrata site, where you’ll be rock climbing. Get strapped in and test your nerves. Once you’ve challenged yourself, head on to your accommodation near the Great Wall.

There’s no better way to say goodbye to Beijing than with delicious Peking roast duck dinner – Peking is the romanized name for Beijing.

It’s your last day in China, so seize the moment! Make lifelong friends in a half-day exchange at a local Chinese school. Give and receive gifts, take a tour and enjoy various activities alongside the Chinese students. Then, it’s time to say goodbye to your new buddies, swap details and make your way to the airport. It might be home time, but it’s not over – your service trip to China will follow you back to the classroom…and beyond!
