As a captivating cultural and historical center, Beijing offers a plethora of activities and sights to explore. Even after several years of living here, I continue to discover new aspects of this incredible city.<\/p>\n<p>For those with more time to spare, you can take a look into <a href=\"https:\/\/www.saporedicina.com\/english\/china-tours-guide\/\" title=\"China tours guide: Everything you should know before booking your trip\" >our comprehensive guide on tours throughout China<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"cta-small\"><a href=\"#tourbeijing-7\">Click here to request a free quote for your private tour in Beijing<\/a><\/div>\n<p><strong><!--more--><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"tourbeijing-1\">In which cases you should consider taking a tour to Beijing<\/h2>\n<p>If you already live in China, I suggest you <a href=\"https:\/\/www.saporedicina.com\/english\/travel-to-beijing\/\">visit Beijing by yourself<\/a>. Nowadays, you can reach the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.saporedicina.com\/english\/travel-by-train-in-china\/\" title=\"Travel by train in China\" >capital of China by train<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Beijing_Capital_International_Airport\" title=\"Beijing International Airport\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">plane<\/a> from pretty much any Chinese city. <\/p>\n<p>Also, Beijing is quite safe and <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Beijing_Subway\" title=\"beijing Public Transportation\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">public transportation<\/a> is good, so you shouldn\u2019t have any particular issues. If you need some tips on booking a hotel or hostel in China, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.saporedicina.com\/english\/hotel-booking-in-china\/\" title=\"Hotel and hostel booking in China\" >just click here<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>Also, if you&#8217;re an experienced traveler and have more time than money, you can certainly come to China alone (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.saporedicina.com\/english\/travel-to-tibet\/\" title=\"Travel to Tibet: What you need to know\" >unless you&#8217;re heading to Tibet<\/a>, in that case you need a travel permit that only a licensed travel agency can provide).  <\/p>\n<p><strong>So, when should you think about booking a tour of Beijing?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you have never traveled to China and have more money than time, then booking a tour is your best bet: Beijing is a huge city and it\u2019s extremely decentralized. This means that moving from one attraction (let\u2019s say the Summer Palace) to another (let\u2019s say the Forbidden City or the the Temple of Heaven) may take you hours if you don\u2019t know how to move around.<\/p>\n<p>However, if you join a tour, especially a private tour as I did my first time here, you\u2019ll be able to visit up to three attractions per day and you\u2019ll be able to see all the best spots in Beijing within four to five days.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"tourbeijing-2\">How many days do you need to visit Beijing?<\/h2>\n<p>If you join a four to five day tour, it should be enough to visit all the most popular attractions in Beijing. You may also want to delay your return flight a day or two in order to get lost in town by yourself. It\u2019s a wonderful experience, especially if you have never traveled in China.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"tourbeijing-3\">What is the best time to visit Beijing?<\/h2>\n<p>You can visit Beijing at any time of the year (I went there in late January the first time). However, I\u2019d say that September-October is the best season, as it will be around 25\u00ba Celsius and there will be a good number of sunny days. <\/p>\n<p>The winter is dry and cold, really cold. Summer is way too hot and it rains a lot. Spring is OK but you\u2019ll have to deal with the rain and the sand storms that hit the capital quite frequently.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"tourbeijing-3b\">How much it cost a private tour in Beijing?<\/h2>\n<p>The prices for a tour in Beijing can vary significantly based on factors such as accommodation type, the number of people, and the specific places you plan to visit. <\/p>\n<p>However, as a general estimate, a standard<strong> private tour in Beijing typically costs around 600 &#8211; 1,000 CNY per person per day<\/strong> (90 &#8211; 140 USD per person per day).<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"tourbeijing-4\">Which are the most popular tours that include Beijing?<\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019re coming from far away, let\u2019s say the U.S. or Europe, then it\u2019s a pity to only visit Beijing. The most popular tours that depart from Beijing but allow you to also visit other Chinese cities\/provinces are the Beijing-Xi\u2019An-Shanghai Tour (8-10 days) and the Beijing-Xi\u2019An-Guilin-Shanghai Tour (12-14 days). Some people prefer to take a cruise on the Yangtze river <a href=\"https:\/\/www.saporedicina.com\/english\/guilin-the-li-river-cruises-starting-point\/\" title=\"Guilin, the Li river cruise\u2019s starting point\" >instead of visiting Guilin<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"tourbeijing-4b\">Featured 1-day tours in Beijing<\/h2>\n<div id=\"gyg-widget-5aac0d9a84d067.28357033\"><\/div>\n<p><script async defer src=\"\/\/widget.getyourguide.com\/v2\/core.js\" onload=\"GYG.Widget(document.getElementById('gyg-widget-5aac0d9a84d067.28357033'),{'currency':'USD','localeCode':'en-US','numberOfItems':'9','partnerId':'CXOX76I','q':'Beijing'});\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"tourbeijing-5\">Things to do and see in Beijing<\/h2>\n<p>There are endless places to visit in Beijing. Here, I\u2019m only going to list the most famous attractions, that\u2019s to say, the ones that you can reasonably visit in five to six days with a tour and seven to nine days if you\u2019re traveling by yourself. Let\u2019s get started!<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>The Forbidden City<\/strong>: This old imperial Chinese palace is situated exactly in the center of Beijing. It was built around 600 years ago and nowadays has been transformed into a museum of 980 buildings, many of which are open to tourists. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.saporedicina.com\/english\/visiting-the-forbidden-city\/\" >Click here to read our complete guide<\/a><\/li>\n<li><strong>Tian An Men Square<\/strong>: A huge square situated just in front of the Forbidden City, which is especially famous in the West because of the riots of 1992. It hosts the Monument to the People\u2019s Heroes, the Ten Great Buildings, the National Museum of China, Mao Zedong\u2019s Mausoleum and the National Grand Theater.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The Coal Hill<\/strong>: Situated just behind the Forbidden City, Coal Hill is the best spot to take a picture of the Forbidden City, as from here you can enjoy the view of the whole imperial palace.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The Great Wall of China<\/strong>: Visiting the Great Wall was the main reason for which I decided to come to Beijing in 2008. Since then, I have gone back several times to the wall, always to a different section. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.saporedicina.com\/english\/great-wall-of-china\/\" title=\"Great Wall of China: A short guide to the 14 most popular sections\" >Here you can find<\/a> a short review of the 14 most popular sections of the wall.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The Ming Dynasty Tombs<\/strong>: These tombs were built during the same years as the Forbidden City (around 1400) and are located about forty kilometers north of Beijing. Depending on the Great Wall section that you visit, you can visit both the tombs and the wall on the same day (this is what I did when I visited the Mutianyu Great Wall).<\/li>\n<li><strong>The Summer Palace<\/strong>: Located in the Haidian district in northwest Beijing, the Summer Palace is the most famous imperial garden of Beijing. The buildings that make up the palace are situated on Longevity Hill, which faces Kunming Lake. This is definitely my favorite place in China among all the royal palaces and temples I visited.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The Temple of Heaven<\/strong>: Situated in the southeastern part of Beijing, the Temple of Heaven is a Taoist temple that was build at the same time as the Forbidden City and the Ming Tombs. What I liked most about it was its architecture, which is completely different from the majority of temples (and buildings in general) that you find in Beijing. Also, the park around the palace is awesome and you\u2019ll find a lot of people \u2013 mostly elders \u2013 dancing or practicing tai chi.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The Hutong<\/strong>: \u201cHutong\u201d is a general name that refers to the small alleys that separate the traditional residential courtyards in Northern China. In the past, all the city center of Beijing \u2013 that\u2019s to say, all the neighborhoods inside the second ring \u2013 was filled with hutong, whereas nowadays, very few of them are still there, as they have been replaced by modern buildings. So, hurry up if you want to have a chance to see them!<\/li>\n<li><strong>The  Buddhist Lama Temple and the Confucius Temple<\/strong>:  Both temples are located in the northeastern corner of downtown Beijing. As I visited them on the same day, I was really interested in noticing the differences between the two temples, which belong to two different religions (well, actually Confucianism is a philosophy, not a religion, but when I visited the temples I didn\u2019t know that yet!).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Liu Li Chang (the Street of the Antiquarians)<\/strong>: This pedestrian alley located in the southern part of the city is packed with hundreds of small antique shops. Sure, nowadays it\u2019s quite touristy but I still love it.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Wang Fu Jing or Xidan Square<\/strong>: These are probably the two biggest shopping areas in Beijing\u2019s downtown. I\u2019m not a big fan of either of them but it\u2019s nonetheless interesting to visit at least one of them to see the consumerist side of China.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>I could keep going on forever: Beihai Park, Houhai Lake, Xi Lake, the Bell Tower, Beijing University\u2019s campus, Wu Dao Kou and San Li Tun (for the nightlife), the Ya Shou in San Li Tun or the Silk Market in Guo Mao (if you fancy fake clothes), the Olympic Stadium, The Opera, Gulou, Dong Zhi Men, the zoo, the traditional theater, the KTV (Chinese karaoke; trust me, this is different from what you see back home), the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.saporedicina.com\/english\/798-beijings-art-district\/\" >798 Art district<\/a>, and so on.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"tourbeijing-6\">Frequently asked questions<\/h2>\n<div itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/FAQPage\">\n<div itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\">\n<div itemprop=\"name\" class=\"accordionsdc\">What is the difference between Peking and Beijing?<\/div>\n<div itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\" class=\"faqpanel\">\n<div itemprop=\"text\">Peking is the former English name based on the Latin version of the name of the capital. However, during the implementation of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.saporedicina.com\/english\/pinyin-guide\/\" >pinyin (a phonetic transcription of Chinese characters into the Latin alphabet)<\/a> in continental China, the official way of phonetically transcribing the capital became B\u011bij\u012bng (or Beijing without the tone marks).<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\">\n<div itemprop=\"name\" class=\"accordionsdc\">Do I need a tour to travel to Beijing?<\/div>\n<div itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\" class=\"faqpanel\">\n<div itemprop=\"text\">A tour isn&#8217;t necessary, as visiting Beijing is easy and safe. Nonetheless, the city is huge and contains infinite places of interest, so a tour can help you to make the most of your time. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\">\n<div itemprop=\"name\" class=\"accordionsdc\">Do I need a tour to visit the Great Wall? Which should I choose?<\/div>\n<div itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\" class=\"faqpanel\">\n<div itemprop=\"text\">\nIt&#8217;s not necessary, but it is recommended if you don&#8217;t speak Chinese. Except for the most visited section of the Great Wall, Badaling (which can be reached by train), reaching the Great Wall is by no means simple, as you will have to take at least two buses (and the second normally isn&#8217;t easy to find), which means that it is advisable that you rent a private vehicle or go on a tour to visit it.<\/p>\n<p>The majority of hotels and hostels can organize this visit, and many of them also offer tours, but if you want to plan it beforehand, you can contact us and we will recommend a good travel agency for the trip.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\">\n<div itemprop=\"name\" class=\"accordionsdc\">Where should I go shopping in Beijing?<\/div>\n<div itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\" class=\"faqpanel\">\n<div itemprop=\"text\">Given that it&#8217;s a giant metropolis, Beijing has innumerable places to go shopping. Some of the most popular among tourists are: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.saporedicina.com\/english\/fake-markets-china\/\" >the Silk Market for counterfeit goods<\/a>, Wangfujing for international brands and luxury products, the Zhongguancun area for electronics, the Gulou and Qianmen areas for souvenirs or Xi\u2019dan for Chinese and Korean brand-name clothing. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\">\n<div itemprop=\"name\" class=\"accordionsdc\">What&#8217;s the pollution like in Beijing? Is it dangerous?<\/div>\n<div itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\" class=\"faqpanel\">\n<div itemprop=\"text\">Unfortunately, Beijing is one of the cities with the worst pollution on the planet (above all in winter) and the photos of its smog blocking the sight of everything are already famous. However, the situation is better than many people think and it&#8217;s been getting better over time. <\/p>\n<p>For a tourist, pollution shouldn&#8217;t be a worry, as exposure for short periods of time shouldn&#8217;t be a health risk, unless you have respiratory problems. However, you should be careful with physical activity outside during pollution peaks, especially for sensitive people (children and the elderly).<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\">\n<div itemprop=\"name\" class=\"accordionsdc\">Is it safe to travel to Beijing?<\/div>\n<div itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\" class=\"faqpanel\">\n<div itemprop=\"text\">Beijing is probably one of the safest cities in the world, so it&#8217;s not necessary to take specific precautions. However, you need a bit of common sense to avoid little scams or thefts (which while rare, do exist). <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\">\n<div itemprop=\"name\" class=\"accordionsdc\">What are the most common scams in Beijing?<\/div>\n<div itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\" class=\"faqpanel\">\n<div itemprop=\"text\">Like any city that attracts tourism, Beijing also has its scams, especially in areas where foreign tourists are abundant. The most common ones are taxi drivers who don&#8217;t turn on the meter (the majority of these are out front of the Silk Market), counterfeit 100 Yuan bills (never let them leave your sight when you are paying in case they switch them out), students who invite you to drink tea with them which turns out to have an exorbitant cost (these tend to be looking for their prey outside of Tiananmen square) or art students that &#8220;force&#8221; you to buy a piece of paper with your name written in Chinese for a fortune (similar to the tea scam).<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2
