About Beijing

Peking, al eeuwen de hoofdstad van China, heeft keizerlijke paleizen, heilige tempels en stukken van de Chinese Muur vlak bij moderne boulevards.

In het hart van de stad strekt de Verboden Stad zich uit achter vermiljoenrode muren, een labyrint van zalen en binnenplaatsen waar de keizers van de Ming- en Qing-dynastie woonden. Het Tiananmenplein ligt ten zuiden ervan, en de heuvel van het Jingshan-park ten noorden ervan geeft het mooiste uitzicht over de gouden daken. De Hemeltempel, gelegen in een park waar buurtbewoners tai chi beoefenen en dansen, is een meesterwerk van keizerlijk ontwerp.

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