Historical Sites
Since Beijing was the capital for four dynasties: Jin (1115-1234), Yuan (127-1368), Ming (1368 -1644) and Qing (1644-1911), it has a wealth of historical sites ranging from royal sumptuous private mansions and gardens to simple villages. Also it is stippled with pagodas and religious temples.
Museums
Museums in Beijing are places to get a glimpse of the origin of the Chinese people, the history of China and Chinese culture, including architecture, printing, painting and other aspects.
| Peking Man Site | China Bee Museum |
| Museum of Dabaotai Han Tomb | China Printing Museum |
| Beijing Ancient Architecture Museum | Xu Beihong Museum |
| Exhibition Hall of Weapons |
Mountains and Forest Parks
In the west and south of Beijing, mountains offer beautiful natural scenery in a bountiful and gracious manner. Luxuriant trees, tall or short, form many natural forest parks and scenic areas with pure water and fresh air. Really great places to retreat from the hustle and bustle of the city and clear one's mind!
Valleys and Gullies, Caves
Due to its mountainous landform, Beijing is riddled with numerous valleys, gullies and gorges in its western area. The brooks trickle through the glens, majestic waterfalls rush down from atop, and bird songs occasionally break the silence of the woods. Caves seem to be playing 'hide-and-seek' while the wonders of nature unfold inside.
Parks & Lakes
Beijing is dotted with many parks and lakes and some parks even feature different themes. Yuyuantan Park is most noted for its cherry blossoms, Zizhuyuan Park is characterized by its various bamboos, while Lianhuachi Park highlights the lotus.
Others
Last but not least, there are also attractions which cater for tourists looking for something different. These scenic spots demonstrate the all-embracing and gentle character of this city.

hi MT,the Great Wall will not be closed.
you can go to the Badaling Great Wall.
it will be cold at that time, so wear some warm clothes, esp for your kids.

December is a little tricky for great wall hiking trip but not impossible. Check the weather again for possible snow. If it snowed the previous days, it might get slippery and dangerous especially if you have young kids with you. And of course, wear down jackets and mittens to keep warm.Rose Rabbit ( Singapore ) :11/27/2011 7:11:33 AM

Hi Asfar,it is cold in Dec., and the temperature could fall below zero, so it is not suitable to take a little baby for outdoor activities.
Top ten Beijing Attractions: the Great Wall, Ming Tombs, Forbidden City, Summer Palace, Temple of Heaven, the Lama Temple, Prince Gong's Mansion, Beijing Zoo, Hutongs, Bird's Nest and Water Cube.

it is very cold in Jan. and Feb. in Beijing, but i don't think it will affect your trip. the last time i went there is in Feb., but i had a good time for it was not crowded in the attractions.it is really beautiful if it snows.
Hi.
We are a group of 15 adults and teens planning to travel to Beijing come March 25-31. Aside from the usual 10 common attractions, can you recommend other activities and sights to see and do for our teenager kids and young adults. Having too much of the history tour might make them loose interest. So, something off-beat or more age appropriate would help liven-up our itinerary. Will there be some snow in the ski resorts during March? Thank you.

You can also enjoy Peking Opera or go to skiiing at Shijinglong Ski Resort. It will be early spring in late March in Beijing, so there will be no snow.Hi!
I and my family are already booked for a 6 days tour in beijing on november 28 to dec 3. Originally, the plan is to visit the country in october since we wanted to see it in autumn where the flowers bloom and the environment is colorful. Unfortunately, the blockings in the airline for low fares did not allow us to visit beijing on october but instead on november 28. Is there any chance that I could still get a glimpse of autumn season or are we going to see a lot of snow already?
and also if that's the case, is it ok for us to expreience snow for the first time since we are from the tropical country?
Thank you so much in advance! =)

It will be the early winter during your tour in Beijing, possibly no snow then.Hi,
Im planning to go to Beijing next year at the end of feb. Is it worth going at that time? Are there nice hostels in the city. What would the week cost us (were budget travelers but want to see the main attractions) with food/ travel around the city?
How do we get from the airport to Tianman square?
Thanks for your help
