A brief introduction to Beijing

With an ancient history and heritage housed across six UNESCO World Heritage sites, China’s majestic capital is a treasure trove of religion, history and a culture that’s millennia in the making.

Travellers can learn about China's imperial roots in The Forbidden City and Temple of Heaven. Additionally, Summer Palace and the Ming Tombs are scenic sites full of traditional architecture and storied history. Outside the city limits lies the iconic Great Wall of China, which can be reached in less than 2 hours by taxi from the city centre.

Alongside its incredible history, Beijing boasts modern and futuristic architecture that can be seen in buildings such as the mirrored Capital Museum building and the angular CCTV Headquarters. One of Beijing’s most famous buildings, the National Centre for the Performing Arts is the perfect place to enjoy opera, ballet and theatre performances.

Foodies are recommended to visit the city’s many high-end restaurants and bars in the Sanlitun area.
