Your Beijing snapshot

Beijing brings together some of China’s most recognisable historic sites with modern architecture, food, neighbourhood life and family attractions. A thoughtfully planned visit helps you cover the city without rushing its enormous landmarks.

Experiences worth building around

The Great Wall

Set aside most of a day for a section such as Mutianyu or Badaling.

Forbidden City

Walk through the vast former imperial palace at the centre of Beijing.

Temple of Heaven

Explore its ceremonial architecture and surrounding park.

Summer Palace

Discover gardens, lakeside views and imperial history away from the city centre.

Hutong neighbourhoods

See a more intimate side of Beijing through historic lanes, courtyards and local food.

Universal Beijing Resort

Add a full theme-park day for rides, entertainment and movie-inspired worlds.

A first-time plan

Day 1

Begin around Tian’anmen Square and the Forbidden City, then explore a nearby hutong district.

Day 2

Take a full-day trip to the Great Wall and return for a relaxed evening.

Day 3

Visit the Temple of Heaven and Summer Palace, or replace one with Universal Beijing Resort.

This is inspiration, not a fixed itinerary—we can shape it around your dates, interests and travelling party.

Good to know

  • Many major attractions require advance reservations and may request passport details.
  • Use a local guide or carefully planned transport for the Great Wall.
  • Check entry, visa and digital-payment requirements close to travel because they can change.
