Beijing has been China's capital for most of the last 800 years. The Forbidden City, the palace of the emperors, sits at its centre beside Tiananmen Square, and the Temple of Heaven and the Summer Palace are close by.
The Great Wall can be reached in a day trip, with Mutianyu one of the most popular sections. Back in the city, explore the hutong lanes and try Peking duck.
