Beijing is the capital city of the People’s Republic of China and one of the most populous cities in the world. It is a cultural, political, and economic hub, with a rich history dating back over three millennia. Beijing’s blend of ancient history and modern development makes it a fascinating destination for travellers interested in experiencing China’s rich cultural heritage and dynamic present.
Consider day trips to nearby attractions like the Summer Palace, Ming Tombs, or the Great Wall. These sites offer stunning scenery and a break from the city’s hustle and bustle.
Beijing has an extensive and affordable subway system that’s easy to navigate. Most signs are in both Chinese and English, and it’s a convenient way to avoid traffic.
The three popular sections of the Great Wall of China (2 hours by car from Beijing) are Badaling (most famous and preserved, busiest), Mutianyu (less busy, stunning views, cable car available), and Jinshanling (ideal for hikers).
