Learn more about Beijing

The city of Peking, or Beijing, in northern China, is often considered the political and cultural centre of China. It is also the second most populous city in China after Shanghai. Expect real cultural vertigo! Beijing is a true cradle of humanity and bears the traces of Chinese civilisations and dynasties. The site of Peking Man, dating back 500,000 years, was discovered here! It is home to the Temple of Heaven, the Summer Palace and the Forbidden City, three jewels listed as UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The first two will give you the chance to escape the sometimes stifling city centre. Tiananmen Square and Mao's Mausoleum, in the heart of the city, will open the doors to the grandiose Forbidden City. Allow at least half a day and good shoes to discover all its secrets. Don't miss the incredible local delicacies on offer at Donghuamen market. Scorpions, snakes… what will you taste? Your trip will probably take you in the footsteps of the Great Wall of China, about a hundred kilometres away.
