WRITE AROUND THE WORLD WITH HELEN BARRY – Young authors from The Sunday Writing Club describe their perfect day.

BY IRENE AND ELAINE ZHONG

Explore the luxury and wonder of Beijing in your own limousine

07:00 – Wake up in the Presidential Suite at Kempinksi Hotel – the perfect blend of luxury and contemporary Chinese design. Have a royal breakfast in bed, served by your own butler service.

09:00 – Enjoy a birds-eye view of the Great Wall of China, one of the greatest wonders of the world from a helicopter. The Great Wall of China is three times the length of Australia, but you will see the Badaling section, the best preserved and the most popular one.

12:00 – Come down off the helicopter and go in a limousine to the Guojie Food Street and have a gourmet feast for lunch at one of over 100 restaurants.

14:00 – Get picked up by the limousine and drive to the Forbidden City to visit the palaces for the emperors in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

16:00 – The limousine will take you to the Beijing Zoo – don’t miss the pandas!

18:00 – Your final destination is the most famous night hangout in Beijing, Shichahai. Eat and drink at traditional, quiet bars and restaurants on the bank of the lake.
