Beijing Travel Guide

The Summer Palace, once a royal garden, has now become a shining jewel of Beijing.

The Temple of Heaven, as the sacred place where emperors of the Ming and Qing Dynasties worshipped heaven and prayed for good harvests, is not only a landmark building in Beijing but also a treasure of ancient Chinese architectural art.

Mutianyu Great Wall, located in Huairou District of Beijing, about 72 kilometers from the city center, is known for its magnificent scenery and fewer tourists.

The Palace Museum, formerly known as the Forbidden City, was the royal palace during the Ming and Qing dynasties, located at the center of Beijing's central axis, and is now the Palace Museum.
