北京
目的地概览
Beijing, China's capital for over 700 years, is the cultural and political heart of the nation. Home to the Forbidden City, the Great Wall, and the Summer Palace, it blends imperial grandeur with thoroughly modern energy.
北京 热门景点
Great Wall (Mutianyu)
Iconic fortifications winding over northern mountains; Mutianyu is scenic and less crowded, with a cable car.
Temple of Heaven
A masterpiece of Ming architecture set in a vast royal park where locals practice tai chi.
Summer Palace
Imperial gardens, a marble boat, and Kunming Lake on Beijing's northwest edge.
Tiananmen Square

最佳旅行时间
Spring (April–May) and autumn (September–October) are ideal — cool, dry, and clear. Avoid the hot, hazy summer and the cold, smoggy winter. The Great Wall is at its best in autumn when the hills turn gold.
如何到达
Beijing Capital (PEK) and Daxing (PKX) international airports connect globally. High-speed trains reach Xi'an in about 4.5 hours, Shanghai in about 4.5 hours, and Tianjin in 30 minutes. The metro is extensive, cheap, and signposted in English.
