The Forbidden City, the Temple of Heaven, the Summer Palace and the Great Wall — the classic first stop in China.
Why visit
Travel Beijing with local experts
Beijing is China’s capital. The Forbidden City palace of the Ming and Qing emperors, the Temple of Heaven and the imperial Summer Palace are all UNESCO World Heritage sites, and sections of the Great Wall north of the city make an easy day trip.
The hutong lanes around Shichahai keep the courtyard-house life of old Beijing. First-time visitors often start their trip here, and four to five days covers the main sights at an easy pace.
