Beijing is the capital of China, and has been the heart of the country's politics and culture for hundreds of years. This bustling city is a great starting point for a luxury holiday to China with Lightfoot.
Why choose a Luxury holiday to Beijing & Northern China
The city is dotted with opulent palaces, temples, gardens, tombs and crumbling gates, not to mention the magnificent Great Wall. We know Beijing well and have scoured the city to find the tastiest restaurants hidden away down the quietest hutongs, the bars with the best views over the Forbidden City, and the most remote areas to hike the Great Wall where you’re likely to come across only a handful of other people.
The city has a population of over 22 million, making it the second-most populous city in the world. These fiery northerners are known for their hot tempers, loud voices, and welcoming friendliness. One of our favourite places to interact with the locals is during the early morning hours at the Temple of Heaven. Witnessing the locals doing Tai Qi, Kung Fu and meditation throughout the park is an experience in itself and something not to be missed.
