Sightseeing in Beijing
Beijing is a "one-stop" travelling city. Whether you are a nature lover, or a history buff, Beijing won’t let you down. From the famous Great Wall to locals’ favorite Shi Du, from green mountains to red architecture, Beijing is a place worth exploring for weeks.
Yet, when you are really in Beijing, you will hardly feel like a traveler. This city has such an inclusive atmosphere that people unconsciously get involved in before they know it. Warm breakfasts on the street, night markets along the road, one never feels lonely in this warm-hearted city. Thus sightseeing includes not only the famous travelling spots, but also every detail of the life here.
