Beijing, the capital of china, is one of the country’s main tourist attractions. It is a city full of places with tons of history, such as the Summer Palace, the Forbidden City and the Temple of Heaven. Not to mention the famous hutongs, ancient traditional neighborhoods full of alleyways, which I highly recommend visiting if you are searching for an authentic local experience in Beijing.
Beijing is also the starting point for any visit to the The Great Wall of China, one of the most incredible places to visit in China. Other places worth visiting in Beijing are Tiananmen Square, Beihai park, Yonghe Temple and Jingshan park.
