Beijing

Beijing is a city that bridges thousands of years of history with the rhythm of modern life. From imperial palaces and ancient temples to futuristic skyscrapers and bustling hutongs, every corner tells a story. Visiting in autumn makes it even more special – golden leaves, crisp skies, and the perfect weather to explore outdoors. Highlights from my trip: • The Great Wall (Mutianyu Section) – A breathtaking stretch of the Wall surrounded by rolling hills and autumn colors. • Forbidden City – Once home to emperors, this vast palace complex is filled with majestic halls, courtyards, and priceless heritage. • Temple of Heaven – A stunning circular temple where emperors once prayed for good harvests, surrounded by peaceful parklands. • Summer Palace – Stroll around Kunming Lake and admire ornate pavilions framed by willow trees and bridges. • Hutongs & Street Food – Wander through narrow alleys for a taste of Beijing life, from dumplings to Peking duck. Travel Tips: ✔️ Autumn (Sept–Nov) is the best time – cool, clear skies and colorful foliage. ✔️ Buy tickets online in advance for major attractions to save time. ✔️ Wear comfortable shoes – sites like the Great Wall require lots of walking. ✔️ Try exploring by bicycle or rickshaw through hutongs for a unique local vibe. #beijing #greatwall #forbiddencity #templeofheaven #summerpalace #chinatravel #tripmoment
