The history of the Emperors

One of the most visited destinations on the planet, Beijing is China's political, cultural and intellectual centre. It is a place full of History and beauty, as well as surprising development which has not erased the richness of Chinese culture.
History and beauty

History and beauty

To better know the history of Beijing your journey must begin at the Forbidden City, the residence of the old Chinese emperors. It received that name because only the emperors, their families and employees were allowed inside its gates. A city within a city that will take you on a journey through time deep into Chinese culture.

Make sure you visit the amazing Temple of Heaven and the Summer Palace. Besides breathtaking views you will also discover tai chi chuan and other typically oriental activities.
Finally, it goes without saying that your tour must also include the Great Wall of China, a place of immense beauty where you will both admire the wild landscape surrounding you and fell yourself a part of History. There are several spots where you can enter the wall, but Beijing has one of the nearest access points.



Shopping and Experiences

Shopping and Experiences

The best place to do your shopping is Wangfujing street not only is it filled with stores and restaurants, it is also a lovely place for a walk.

The Beijing markets can sell you everything this country has to offer: silk, pearls, clothes... anything you can think of, you will find at a good price in Beijing's markets. Just make sure you haggle for the best price.

Those who don't want to miss out on Chinese cuisine will be able to taste scorpions, starfish, snakes, bats, fried spiders and a lot more! But if you prefer something more traditional, don't worry  Beijing is also your kind of town!

Beijing, a non-stop city

Beijing is famous for being in constant change! With a strong and deeply rooted culture, Beijing is not closed to the world, quite the contrary! New streets and buildings appear frequently and facilities for visitors are continuously improving.

Visit the Water Cube, created for the 2008 Olympics and now a major tourist attraction, or discover the "Egg", the Grand National Theatre, an enormous egg-shaped structure that hosts cultural events.

And speaking of culture make sure you attend an acrobatics show – a typically Chinese performance - and let your imagination fly!
