About Beijing

Pékin, capitale depuis des siècles, réunit palais impériaux, temples sacrés et tronçons de la Grande Muraille à portée de ses avenues modernes.

Au cœur de la ville, la Cité interdite s'étend derrière ses murs vermillon, un labyrinthe de salles et de cours qui abritait les empereurs des dynasties Ming et Qing. La place Tian'anmen se trouve au sud, et la colline du parc Jingshan, au nord, offre la plus belle vue sur ses toits dorés. Le Temple du Ciel, dans un parc où les habitants pratiquent le tai-chi et dansent, est un chef-d'œuvre d'architecture impériale.

Top-ranked sights in Beijing: Mutianyu Great Wall, Forbidden City (Palace Museum), Tiananmen Square (Tiananmen Guangchang).
