To discover
Beijing is regarded as the political and cultural centre of China, while Hong Kong, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen dominate economically.
Located close to the Great Wall, Beijing is home to famous monuments such as the Forbidden City and the Temple of Heaven, both of which are World Heritage Sites. You can also venture into the Hutongs, the traditional districts, and visit Tian’anmen Square, the Beijing Opera House and the Temple of Heaven.
Numerous architectural and structural projects have transformed the city for the Summer Olympics, which it hosted in 2008.
With Beijing’s excellent transport links, it’s easy to get around at low cost. Taxis aren’t expensive, but there’s a real risk of getting stuck in traffic jams at peak times. The best way to get around Beijing is certainly by metro. Fast, cheap and easy to use, this means of transport is widely used by locals. You can also take the bus to the places you want to visit and enjoy the scenery on the way.
Good to know
A trip to Beijing is sure to be a culture shock. As well as language, China is different from the West in many ways. The locals may come to you because they are curious about tourists, especially Westerners. Furthermore, the use of Google and therefore platforms such as Facebook or YouTube is not permitted.
The water is not drinkable, so you will need to buy bottled water or boil water.
The Chinese capital is faced with numerous environmental problems, including water and air pollution. Since the early 1990s, the government has been making greater efforts to protect the environment. It has introduced laws to encourage recycling, standardise environmental impact assessment and energy efficiency, and monitor air pollution.
