Overview

If you have just one day in Beijing, the Great Wall and Forbidden City are definitely the top two in your list of the ultimate things to do. As the world’s largest public square, Tiananmen Square needs to be seen in person to be believed. No visit to Beijing would be complete without a walk through the square, whose historical legacy includes Mao Zedong’s announcement of the founding of the People’s Republic of China on October 1, 1949. At the center of Beijing sits the most enduring icon of the city: the Forbidden City. Home to 24 Ming & Qing Dynasty emperors, this is the world’s largest palace complex. The Great Wall is one of China's most iconic sights. Mutianyu Great Wall is the longest fully resorted section of the Great Wall measuring 2.2km with 23 watchtowers. Considered to be the most family-friendly portion of the Wall and the best part of Great Wall for photography, Mutianyun Great Wall is less crowded and has better architecture than other sections with more watchtowers.
