Beijing

Beijing Trips

From the Forbidden City with its ancient courtyards and temples, to vast Tiananmen Square, capable of holding over a million people, Beijing means business when it comes to Chinese culture and global popularity. It became the capital of China during the Ming Dynasty in the 14th century, but its history dates back 3000 years.

However, this is a city that’s tackled the modern world head-on, and it’s a place of powerful contrast. Explore the hutongs (narrow alleys) for a taste of the old city, and Beijing trips aren't complete without a tour out of town to the Great Wall.
