Start your Beijing journey with a visit to the Temple of Heaven, a majestic 15th-century UNESCO World Heritage site. This historically and architecturally stunning temple complex is a beautiful testament to the city's rich cultural legacy. As a former sacred site, it was where emperors once sought divine favour and prayed for bountiful harvests. Visitors can enjoy a tranquil experience amidst the beautifully landscaped gardens, with the spectacular Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests as the central highlight, appreciating its profound artistic and cultural significance.
The Palace Museum, formerly the Forbidden City, stands as a captivating symbol of China's imperial past and rich cultural heritage. Serving as the residence for Chinese emperors and the nation's political epicentre for nearly five centuries, this architectural marvel was built between 1406 and 1420. The vast complex is thoughtfully organised into two primary zones. The Outer Court was traditionally dedicated to hosting major state ceremonies, while the Inner Court provided a more private space for the emperor's family. Must-see sights for visitors include the impressive Meridian Gate, the grand Hall of Supreme Harmony, and the peaceful Imperial Garden. For a more comprehensive historical perspective, consider exploring less-crowded but equally significant areas such as the Corner Towers, which afford sweeping panoramic views, and the Palace of Compassion and Tranquility.
Before heading home, immerse yourself in Beijing's captivating hutongs. These ancient, narrow alleyways, dating back to the Yuan Dynasty, offer a unique glimpse into the city's rich history and traditional way of life.

A particular highlight of the hutongs is the array of traditional food stalls. Be sure to sample local delicacies such as jiaozi (dumplings), often filled with a mix of meat and vegetables, or indulge in the renowned Peking duck, typically served with thin pancakes and hoisin sauce.
