The most interesting and beautiful tourist sites in Beijing
Photos, reviews, descriptions, and links to maps
Imperial heritage, the memory of the revolutionaries and modern trends in architecture – that’s Beijing today. The Forbidden City is an arm’s length away from Mao Zedong’s mausoleum and the “egg”, a futuristic opera house. By some miracle, the local government finds space to build skyscrapers and parks. And they do it while preserving hutongs – ancient alleys and classical Chinese buildings.
In crowded Beijing is always noisy, so it is pointless to plan a quiet holiday when visiting this city. However, on weekdays you can enjoy relative silence in temple complexes or in the lap of nature. For a metropolis, there are quite a lot of green areas here, and extensive in area.
