Beijing 20 things not to miss

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.

Temple of heaven

A gorgeous temple in an elegant park. In the morning here have all kinds of morning exercise

Summer palace

Once the exclusive retreat of the emperors, this beautiful, landscaped park, dotted with imperial buildings, is now open to all

Great Wall at Mutianyu section

A dramatic stretch of crumbly, vertiginous fortifications 1 hour and half from Beijing

Hou hai lake

Beautiful and serene in the early morning, houhai lake is the perfect setting for a lazy cappuccino –then get out on the water in a duck-shaped pedalo

Forbidden City

For five centuries center of the Chinese universe and private pleasure ground of the emperor, this sumptuous palace complex ranks as the city’s main attraction

Hutongs

The tangle of alleys reveals the city’s real, private face.

Yonghe gong Lama temple

A lively Tibetan temple, flamboyantly decorated and busy with devotees and monks

Beijing Duck

Though heavy on calories and very rick, Beijing’s culinary specialty is supremely tasty

798 Art District

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

Olympic Green is an eye-opener for your Beijing trip.

Beijing Opera

Incomprehensible to foreigners, and many Chinese, but still a great spectacle

Eat a local meal and buy yourself some BBQ Sticks

Nanluoguxiang

A trendy hutong of restaurants and boutiques

Night Tour

See Beijing when it sparkles!

Go ski or hot spring in Winter
