Beijing
As the ancient capital of the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, every hutong and palace in Beijing holds the keys to history.
Stand in Tiananmen Square and feel the solemnity of "all nations paying tribute"; step into the Forbidden City, where red walls and golden tiles meet imperial grandeur, and explore the Treasure Gallery for rare collections; climb the Great Wall at Badaling or Mutianyu to touch the majesty of the "ten-thousand-mile dragon" and hear the stories of ancient garrison troops.
Beyond its weighty history, Beijing pulses with diverse vitality. Stroll through Nanluoguxiang and Wudaoying Hutong for creative shops and a cup of hutong coffee; feast at Gui Street and Niujie on Peking duck, hot pot, and jiaoliu meatballs; at night, capture the modern glow of the Bird's Nest and Water Cube, or experience the collision of art and industry at 798 Art District.
No-shopping pure sightseeing tours with private car and guide let you escape the crowds and savor the tranquility of Kunming Lake at the Summer Palace and the ancient cypresses at the Temple of Heaven.
