The Top Four Tourist Cities in China.
Beijing, Xian, Guilin and Hong Kong are the most visited cities in China. A lot of people refer it as the 'golden route' or 'presidential route' after Bill Clinton visited these cities in 1998. Certainly the golden route has a good combination of everything: great historical heritages, beautiful landscape, delicious Chinese food, great shopping and so on.
To visit Beijing you would need at least four nights to complete what you need to see and do. Great Wall of China - the longest man-made architecture on earth. This should be your number one destination in Beijing. Forbidden City - the former palaces and offices of Ming and Qing Dynasties. It is currently a museum with countless treasures.
Summer Palace - the most well preserved royal resort of Qing Dynasty. Temple of Heaven is the symbol of Beijing. Ming and Qing emperors worshipped Heaven here. Please do include a hutong tour in order to have an old Beijing feel. After all, don't forget a Beijing duck feast.
Tip: Beijing travel requires a lot of walking. Please be prepared for it.
