A brief introduction to Beijing
Home to six UNESCO World Heritage sites, China’s majestic capital of Beijing is a treasure trove of ancient history, stunning architecture, and fascinating culture.
Start your trip by exploring The Forbidden City and Temple of Heaven, and learn about the country’s ruling dynasties at the Summer Palace and Ming Tombs. The iconic Great Wall of China is located just outside the city limits and can be reached in less than 2 hours by taxi.
Beijing also boasts plenty of marvellous modern-day structures, including the mirrored Capital Museum building, angular CCTV Headquarters, and the beautiful National Centre for the Performing Arts. Here, you can watch internationally acclaimed opera, ballet, and theatre performances in a unique setting colloquially called ‘The Giant Egg’.
We also recommend visiting the Sanlitun area, which is home to many of the city’s high-end restaurants and bars. Here, you can indulge in traditional and popular Beijing dishes, such as Peking roast duck and Qianlong cabbage.
