Beijing is the legacy of the Celestial Empire, a city with over three millennia of history. China's capital has been shaped by centuries of great imperial dynasties, leaving behind a wealth of grand palaces and traditional pagodas. At the same time, Beijing also offers luxurious and unforgettable experiences with its ultra-modern complexes, scenic parks, extensive shopping options, extreme sports, and vibrant nightlife.

For a more relaxed vacation, tourists can wander through Beijing’s “Versailles,” the Summer Palace, and enjoy its Imperial Garden. After such a tour of Beijing, you'll return home with lasting impressions, inspired by the East and brimming with new emotions.

Beijing's activities

One of the most luxurious, perhaps the most beautiful, and the second-largest palace in Beijing after the Forbidden City. It’s included in China’s list of national cultural heritage sites.

The Yiheyuan Summer Palace is a park ensemble consisting of the palace itself, ruins of the old summer palace, a picturesque lake, gardens, and numerous Chinese-style towers, pavilions, and gazebos with statues. The palace is included in the UNESCO World Heritage list.

Tiantan (Temple of Heaven) is a vast complex of temples and green spaces located south of the Forbidden City. Since 1420, people have prayed here to Heaven, Thunder, Wind, and Clouds for timely rain and bountiful harvests. Tiantan symbolized the connection between Heaven and the emperor, the Son of Heaven.

Tiananmen Square is named after the northern gate of the Forbidden City—Tiananmen Gate. The literal translation from Chinese is “Gate of Heavenly Peace.” Tiananmen Square is home to Mao Zedong’s Mausoleum and the Monument to the People’s Heroes.

Wangfujing Street, a key symbol of Beijing’s commerce, is the city’s most famous and bustling shopping avenue. Located in the Dongcheng District near the city center, it features a mix of modern stores and fashion boutiques.

Mutianyu, boasting 22 well-preserved watchtowers in their original state, is widely regarded as the finest stretch of the Wall. Along with its rich historical atmosphere, you’ll be treated to stunning mountain vistas, excellent walking conditions, and fewer crowds compared to other sections.

The National Center for the Performing Arts, originally envisioned as Beijing’s Grand National Opera House and affectionately nicknamed “The Egg,“ is a massive 200,000-square-meter opera complex. Hailed as a modern wonder, this ellipsoid-shaped structure is crafted from glass and titanium and is completely surrounded by an artificial lake.

Which month is the best for visiting Beijing?

The weather here can be quite deceptive and unpredictable: summers (particularly June and July) are consistently scorching. For daytime walks and sightseeing tours, bring plenty of water and schedule more active outings for the evening. Winters in Beijing, from December to February, are quite cold with periodic strong, biting winds.

Therefore, early autumn (September and October) is the perfect time to visit Beijing.

Which dishes should you try in Beijing?

Beijing cuisine is a distinct branch of Chinese culinary tradition. The dish most closely associated with this country's culinary heritage is Peking duck. We also recommend trying the traditional fuling jiabing: a fragrant snack in the form of a pancake filled with poria mushroom, known as fu ling.

How do you select activities in China?

We primarily focus on your preferences and interests, offering a variety of options to make sure the places and activities are engaging, informative, and just the right amount of adventurous.

What are the must-visit attractions in China?

Every tourist has their own preferences, and some put together their own wish list of Chinese attractions they want to see. However, some unmissable sights include the Terracotta Army, Potala Palace in Tibet, Shilin National Park, Tiger Leaping Gorge, and a giant panda sanctuary.
