It’s not possible to see everything Beijing has to offer on a short trip, and we don’t suggest you try. What follows is a selective taste of the city’s highlights: stunning temples, delicious food, fantastic markets and fascinating excursions beyond the city.

Chinese acrobatics

Markets

The city’s jumbled cornucopias of brick-a-brace, Souvenirs, curios and fake antiques are great for browse and a haggle.

Olympic sites
