Beijing Discovery Tours

With Olympics fever (and paranoia) in full swing, it has become apparent that many potential visitors to China have been scared away by harsh visa regulations, threats of terrorism and price gouging by hotels and practically everyone else in Beijing. The good news is that it will all soon be over (the Games end with the closing ceremony on August 26), and everyone in Beijing and China will have to face the cold hard reality that despite billions and billions spent to create a gleaming new city, 5 years of hurried planning and fierce construction efforts, and the accompanying displacement of tens of thousands of longtime Beijing residents, the Summer Olympic Games of 2008 last 18 days - a scant 2 1/2 weeks of time for which so much has been spent and lost, and the lives of everyday Beijingers have been irrevocably upended.

Once the inevitable Olympics hangover has set in, Beijing will once again be a fantastic place to visit. October has the best weather in which to take your tour of Beijing - clear blue skies (even without the draconian pollution reduction efforts enforced by the Chinese government), cooler temperatures, and a fantastic pallette of fall colors gracing the numerous sections of the Great Wall of China near Beijing.  Prices for hotel rooms and vehicles for guest transportation should return to reasonable levels, and hopefully they will be hungry for visitors to make up for the lack of guests that did not come during their expected windfall during the Olympics.
