A megacity of extraordinary sights, Beijing is a melting pot of ancient culture and modern energy, and the sheer number of major sights to see in China’s capital makes it easy for visitors to create jam-packed itineraries and tick off multiple items on their bucket lists all in one trip.

Take a tour of Beijing’s architecture, including the Forbidden City, the National Centre for the Performing Arts, and, of course, the Great Wall. For food fanatics, you’ll find everything from cosy authentic eateries to fine dining – and don’t leave the city without trying peking duck, the Beijing dish that’s famous all over the world.
