Holidays in Beijing

Beijing Highlights

The energy of Beijing will whet your appetite for adventure. It’s a city that needs to be explored. Visit the Forbidden City, take a night–time bike ride around the streets, scale the Great Wall and make sure you try as much of the local cuisine as possible.

The huge skyscrapers of downtown Beijing, the network of hútòng – the ancient alleyways that criss–cross the city, the Buddhist temples, the six UNESCO World Heritage sites, the teeming markets, the lakes busy with pedalos and boats – holidays to Beijing provide an inexhaustible supply of things to see and do. And when you need a rest, just simply sit down with a snack and a cold drink and watch the world go by.

An assault on the senses, this city is an unforgettable experience for every traveller who walks its streets.
