The capital city of this vast nation is a great entry point for a first holiday in China, and a Beijing travel itinerary will share a great variety of iconic and unique experiences with you. There is one notable man-made structure on earth that can be seen from Outer Space and this is The Great Wall of China, or ‘Wànlǐ Chángchéng’, as it is known to the locals. This ancient wall runs across the country for 13,000 miles but conveniently there are nine parts of The Great Wall within reach of the capital Beijing, so no Beijing travel itinerary is complete without a visit to ‘The Wall’ , along with some of the other astonishing experiences on offer in and around this truly unique of cities.
There are far too many attractions on offer in Beijing to list them individually but we are very confident that there is something to please everybody here. A Secret Retreats 3 Day Beijing Itinerary can certainly provide a glorious snapshot of some of the main attractions and most certainly, some of the hidden ones. Local favourites, such as Ghost Street, so named because of its history as a location for a black market that ghosted in and out to avoid the authorities in time gone by, but is now home to an eclectic mix of restaurants offering cuisines from across China, a place very much a favourite of the locals and typical of the Secret Retreats difference in building our China luxury holidays and itineraries based on local knowledge. Whether you wish to stroll the enormity of the Forbidden City, experience enlightenment at the Temple of Confucius, visit Tiananmen Square peace monument, enjoy the Great Outdoors at lakes, mountains or the wonderfully named, Fragrant Hills, this city can certainly deliver. As always, the ubiquitous ‘Street Life’, markets and swathes of silk also – quite literally - form the fabric of this vibrant and mysterious capital city. Seeing it for yourself on a Secret Retreats China luxury holiday is the only way to do it though.
