Beijing is a city of landmarks, not the least of which is famous Tiananmen Square, the world's largest public plaza. In the square itself, visitors will find the Monument to the Peoples Heroes and the mausoleum of Mao Zedong. Also located within the walls of the square, the intriguing Forbidden City (off limits to the public for over 500 years) is an ancient palace that provides a glimpse into China's imperial past. Our Beijing hotel guests will also enjoy a visit to the serene Temple of Heaven - a 15th-century temple used by Ming and Qing emperors to perform sacrifices on the winter solstice.
Visitors can also enjoy shopping in the upscale Wangfujing district, followed by a traditional meal on Ghost Street before returning to their hotel accommodations. Besides traditional dining influenced by China's diverse culinary types, Beijing neighborhoods feature restaurants that bring in flare from across Asia and the world.
