A brief introduction to Beijing

A treasure trove of history, heritage and culture, China’s majestic capital city offers unforgettable experiences and adventures around every corner.

Bask and soak in Beijing’s ancient architectural masterpieces by visiting the Forbidden City, Summer Palace, Temple of Heaven, Ming Tomb, and Grand Canal - all of which are UNESCO World Heritage sites. No trip to the capital is complete without a visit to the Great Wall of China. You can reach the celebrated attraction in approximately 2 hours by taxi from the city center.

Beijing is also renowned for its modern architecture. Some highlights include the mirrored Capital Museum building, angular CCTV Headquarters, and eye-catching National Centre for the Performing Arts.

We also recommend visiting the Sanlitun district, which has established its reputation as a high-end wining and dining hub. Here, you can sample authentic dishes such as Peking roast duck and the sweet and savory Qianlong cabbage.
