LOCATION

Home to over 20 million people, Beijing, China is a city that fuses modern development and progress with old and ancient traditions. It played host to the 2008 Summer Olympic Games and is home to the world wonder, the Great Wall. In this city, there are an abundance of activities to do and attractions to see.

Try absorbing a bit of Chinese history by visiting the Forbidden City, a huge palace that served as the home of the emperors during the Ming and Qing dynasties. If you are looking for a peaceful retreat, explore the renowned Beihai Park where Chinese gardening masterpieces are displayed or the historical Zhongnanhai which now serves as the headquarters for China's government. Make sure not to miss the most popular tourist sites, most notably, Tiananmen Square and the Temple of Heaven. For local food and shopping, walk through Wangfujing where many streets are off-limits to motor vehicles and only pedestrians are allowed.

Whatever you choose to do, just remember, in Beijing, there are unlimited possibilities!
