Holidays in Beijing
Beijing is China’s capital, where imperial heritage meets contemporary architecture and the energy of a modern metropolis. The city is home to the Forbidden City, the Temple of Heaven and the Summer Palace, while its historic central axis reflects centuries of urban and ceremonial planning.
A journey through Beijing extends beyond its best-known monuments. Traditional hutong neighbourhoods reveal a more intimate side of the capital, while contemporary districts introduce the city through architecture, art, design and gastronomy. A separate day can be devoted to the Great Wall of China, one of the country’s defining historic landmarks.
Imperial heritage and tailor-made itineraries in Beijing
An itinerary can combine the Forbidden City and Tiananmen Square with the Temple of Heaven, the Summer Palace, traditional neighbourhoods and one of the Great Wall sections outside the city. Together, these places reveal different periods of Beijing’s development, from imperial China to the contemporary capital.
Beijing also works naturally as part of a wider journey through China, combined with destinations such as Xi’an, Shanghai, Hong Kong or the country’s scenic regions. The itinerary can be tailored around history, culture, contemporary art, gastronomy and architecture.
