Where To Visit In Beijing
Our Pick
Hike the Great Wall of China
Some attractionsneed no description—and the Great Wall of China is one of them. Centuries after its construction, the Great Wall of China remains one of humankind’s engineering marvels. At over 13,000 miles in total length, it’s a feat of ancient engineering. Passing only 40 miles from Beijing, it is quite simply a must-see.

You can stay in Beijing for up to 6 days without a visa. Although that’s a drop in the ocean in this sprawling and energetic city, it’s certainly worth it if you’re passing through. For a longer trip, you’ll need to apply for a visa. In our experience.
Two days at the absolute least, although we recommend 4 or 5.
The currency you’ll need in Beijing is the Yuan Renminbi (Yuan for short). There are many banks in which you can change your money and ATMs are everywhere.
Spring and Autumn are the best times to visit. In the summer temperatures can soar which make the polluted city uncomfortable, and in the winter they can drop so low that it sometimes snows.
