Beijing is endowed with rare cultural heritage due to its long history. The Great Wall, one of the great wonders of the world, and the sole man-made structure that can be seen from space, extends several hundred miles from Beijing well into the depths of the Gobi desert. The northern suburbs of Beijing are home to the poetic and picturesque Summer Palace.

In the heart of the city lies the Forbidden City, easily the most splendid of all the imperial palaces in the world; and just beside it is the Temple of Heaven which was the place of worship for emperors of various dynasties, and home to some of China's greatest ancient architectural wonders. Also, be sure not to miss the Beijing Hutongs, or courtyard compounds, these old laneways and traditional buildings have been a center of history and culture in the city for generations and are best enjoyed during a lazy afternoon walk.
