2016-06-03 • 0 Comment

It’s not possible to see everything Beijing has to offer on a short trip, and we don’t suggest you try. What follows is a selective taste of the city’s highlights: stunning temples, delicious food, fantastic markets and fascinating excursions beyond the city.

Tian’an men Square

The grandiose heart of communist China, a concrete plain laden with historical resonances. It is the largest city central square in the world, can hold half a n million people at one time.

Mao’s mausoleum

Join the queue to view the corpse of the founder of modern China in his giant tomb.

This huge complex of art galleries has become Ground Zero for the city’s bohemians and fashionistas.

Chinese acrobatics

The style may be vaudeville, but the stunts, performed by some of the world’s greatest acrobats, are breathtaking.

Markets

The city’s jumbled cornucopias of brick-a-brace, Souvenirs, curios and fake antiques are great for browse and a haggle.

Olympic sites
