The Award-Winning Tour Specialist
An ancient walled city that ballooned into a mega metropolis in less than a century, Beijing does things its own way. Full of history and tradition but very much future facing – it is one of the fastest developing areas in the world - to explore the city is to enjoy the best of both worlds; plenty of antiquity and bags of culture combined with all the contemporary conveniences and modern comforts.
A stopover in Beijing, brings bucketlist sights galore. At its very heart is Tiananmen Square, a colossal public space with a chequered history directly flanked by the mammoth imperial palace that is the Forbidden City. More of Beijing’s imperial treasures include the Summer Palace and the Temple of Heaven. Then, of course, just outside the city is the incredible Great Wall – walking on it is a must. Alongside these sights there is also so much culture, art, entertainment, nightlife, food and shopping to experience – no matter how many times you visit, you’ll feel like you’re just scratching the surface.
Explore the Juyongguan section of the Great Wall, a beautifully restored stretch nestled in a lush mountain pass near Beijing. With its dramatic scenery and historic watchtowers, it offers an impressive and accessible way to experience one of China’s most iconic landmarks.
Stand in the heart of Beijing at Tiananmen Square, one of the world’s largest public spaces. Surrounded by grand monuments and historic buildings, it’s a powerful symbol of China’s past and present.
Step inside the Forbidden City, Beijing’s vast imperial palace complex. Wander through grand halls, tranquil courtyards and exquisite gardens that once housed China’s emperors. Rich in history and architecture, it offers a captivating glimpse into the heart of China’s ancient royal heritage.
