Music Celebrations International knows that many choirs singing in the festival will want to stay in China afterwards to explore and experience some of the many musically and culturally significant towns and cities in the area. MCI is also able to help balanced choirs perform in stand-alone concerts as part of the American Celebration of Music in China. Following are three examples of possible post-festival extensions to consider. Remember that MCI is more than happy to use these itineraries as a starting point to create a completely customized tour for you and your choir.

Standard (Festival Only) Itinerary

The standard (Festival Only) itinerary for the 2007 Beijing is a 6 night / 8 day trip, beginning in Beijing. It includes a guided tour to the Great Wall of China and a full day excursion to Tianjin.
