Indulge in an educational escapade at the Summer Palace

This well-preserved imperial garden showcases the sheer genius of Chinese craftsmanship. Perhaps best visited during spring or autumn, the Summer Palace offers a scenic escape with its integration of architecture, horticulture, and natural water reserves.

Visit the Great Wall of China

No visit to Beijing is ever complete without setting foot on the Great Wall of China. Revel in the breathtaking views, historical tales, and the realization of this architectural marvel stretching over mountains and valleys.

Destination Essentials

Beijing's seasonal extremes make spring (April to June) and autumn (September to October) the ideal visit times due to milder temperatures and fewer crowds. These periods are perfect for leisurely outings to Beijing’s glorious attractions.

However, if you don't mind the heat or the crowds and want to enjoy outdoor activities like hiking, summer (July and August) is your answer. Winter (November to February), though challenging due to frigid temperatures, brings a snowy charm to the city. Just remember, popular events like the Spring Festival and National Day holiday can result in larger crowds and higher prices.
