Luxury Holidays in Beijing

Travel to China’s dynamic cultural centre

China’s second largest city, Beijing is the country’s political and cultural centre. One of the Four Great Ancient Capitals of China, the city is rich in historical sites. With its infrastructure revamped for the 2008 Olympics, Beijing is an international force.

The restored Forbidden City reveals the grandeur of the Ming and Qing dynasties, while Tiananmen Square is Mao’s astonishing, grand legacy – a place to tarry and watch the world go by. With beautiful gardens, palaces, temples and museums, Beijing’s cultural treasures are astounding, while the stunning Great Wall is only 1.5hr away.

Beijing’s Chinese cuisine is legendary, and whether you plump for famous roast duck, lamb hotpot, vegetarian specialities or regional delicacies, dining here is delicious and varied.
