Attractions

Cycling Through the City

Although China is no longer a nation of bicycles with more and more private car owners every day, Beijing is still the perfect city to tour around by bicycle. The city is almost totally flat and travel by bicycle is often faster and more efficient than by car, taxi, or bus in the congested downtown area. You can rent a bike from many major hotels.

Tiananmen Square

The most prominent and popular tourist attraction in Beijing, don't miss the world's largest public square during your stay. The square is adorned by grand buildings, including the Great Hall of the People, the Museum of Chinese History, the Museum of the Chinese Revolution, and a few more. Get to the square from your hotel destination by Beijing rental car.

The Forbidden City

Visit the Dongcheng District to see the most important palace in Beijing. The Forbidden City was home to the Imperial Court of China during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. This is one of the only sights of its kind which was left untouched during the Cultural Revolution thanks to the timely intervention and protection of Zhou Enlai's troops who guarded the palace from the Red Guards.
