Beijing sights

I decided to start my review of Beijing attractions with places located in the city center. Step by step, we will analyze all the most interesting things.

List of attractions in Beijing:

Forbidden City China

One of Beijing's most iconic landmarks. The vast majority of tourists, first of all, come here. If you're wondering why the Forbidden City in Beijing is called what it is, the name goes back a long way. For many centuries, ordinary people could not visit the Forbidden City in Beijing; the emperor and his entourage lived here. That's why the Forbidden City began to be called that.

How to get there: Tian'anmen West Station (Line 1)

Opening hours and cost: from April to November from 8.30 to 17.00 (entrance ticket 60 yuan), from November to March inclusive from 8.30 to 16.30 (40 yuan).

Tiananmen Square in China (Tiananmen Square)

Located very close to the Forbidden City, Tiananmen Square is one of Beijing's most famous landmarks. Large, always crowded, it attracts the attention of thousands of tourists every year. When walking around the square, be careful and do not fall for the tricks of scammers. There have been numerous cases when tourists were approached by supposedly local residents who asked for a favor to practice their English. The tourists agreed and after a casual conversation, the newly made friends suggested going to the teahouse to have a cup of tea and cakes. Naturally, the scammers brought tourists to theirs, who eventually brought a check for several thousand yuan. If you find yourself in a similar situation, without paying attention to those around you, just get up and leave.

How to get there: Qianmen Subway (Line 2) or Tian’anmen East (Line 1)

National Museum Of China

The most visited museum in the world. A huge number of exhibits and a convenient location in the eastern part of Tiananmen Square. If you want to learn more about the history of China, it would be a good idea to come here.

Opening hours and cost: open all week, excluding Mondays, from 9.00 to 17.00. The ticket office closes at 15.30, admission is free.

Sights of Beijing. Liulichang Street

Not exactly an ordinary landmark in Beijing. If you love antiques and outdoor walks, Liulichang Street in Beijing should interest you. Here you can buy not standard boring souvenirs, but something really interesting as a keepsake.

Panjiayuan Lu Market

You can combine a visit to Liulichang Street with the Panjiayuan Antique Market in Beijing. These places are not located close to each other, but lovers of antiques should not be deterred by such little things as distance. Here you can find antique and unique items from Chinese craftsmen.

Directions and opening hours: Panjiayuan (Line 10). Open on weekdays from 8.30 to 18.00, on weekends from 4.30 to 18.00.

Sights of Beijing. Temple of heaven

Judging by the reviews of tourists, the Temple of Heaven is one of the most interesting and visited places in Beijing. Built back in the 15th century under the Ming reign, the Temple of Heaven includes several separate halls.

Yonghegong Lama Temple

The Yonghegong Temple is beautiful, judging by the reviews of many tourists who visited this place. The advantage of the temple is its proximity to the Temple of Confucius and the Imperial Academy, so a reasonable solution would be to combine two attractions of Beijing at once.

The next two attractions of Beijing are located at a distance from the center of the capital of China. In Yiheyuan Imperial Palace, in addition to the magnificent elements of Chinese architecture, you will find places with scenic views of the lake and park. If you believe the reviews of tourists, the imperial palace is worth the time spent visiting.

Today, the former summer palace is only ruins, by which one can judge the greatness of China of yesteryear.

Beijing visa for Russians

If you are in China for an extended period of time to travel, you will need to obtain a tourist visa. As a rule, it is issued for a period of 30 days, but there are also longer ones. If Beijing is only a transit city on the way to a third country, you can use the right of 72 hour air transit. In this case, you can go into the city and stay in Beijing for no more than 72 hours, after which you can fly from the same airport you arrived at. In the case of Beijing, this is Capital International Airport. All the nuances of obtaining a visa to China are in the corresponding article.

How to get to the city from the airport

I wrote in detail about all the possible options for leaving the airport and getting to the city in an article about Beijing Airport. You can also find a lot of useful tips there. Where the luggage storage is located, what the map of Beijing airport terminals looks like, what hotels are nearby and you can even check the arrival flight board online.

Transport in Beijing (subway, buses, taxis)

Beijing is one of the largest cities in Asia and it is very important to quickly figure out which transport to use upon arrival. Let's look at the three main types of transport in the capital of China.

Beijing Metro

In the Beijing metro map below you can see how extensive the network of metro lines is in the city. There are 17 metro lines in Beijing, as can be clearly seen in the diagram. The fare ranges from two to ten yuan, depending on the distance. The Beijing metro map clearly shows that using this type of transport, you can get to almost any attraction in the city.

"Beijing subway map"

Buses and trolleybuses

Also very popular modes of transport, but due to high traffic congestion, they are not the most reliable. Beijing has huge problems with traffic jams and when traveling by bus or trolleybus, you can lose a lot of time. The fare is usually 1-2 yuan.

Taxi in Beijing

In the capital of China, you will constantly see many taxi drivers. A taxi in Beijing is not expensive; you will pay 10 yuan for boarding and the first three kilometers, and three yuan will be added to the meter for each subsequent kilometer. Be sure to tell the driver that you want to use the meter.

Beijing Hotels

There is a separate article on the blog about hotels in Beijing. It listed specific places where you can stay upon arrival in Beijing. Both the most budget hostels and 3-5 star hotels were considered.

Weather in Beijing

The weather in China's capital varies greatly throughout the year. A detailed review for each individual month is also included in a separate article. Read about the weather in Beijing.

Beijing is the capital. It is one of the four cities under central control of the People's Republic of China. It is considered the third most populous city in the world.

Located in East Asia, in the northeastern part of China, 150 km west of Bohai Bay, which belongs to the Yellow Sea. A Russian map of Beijing shows that the city is a key transport route connecting the country's northern provinces to the rest. Despite its significant size, Beijing is considered the political and cultural rather than the economic and industrial center of China.

Beijing on the map of China: geography, nature and climate

Beijing occupies an area of ​​16,801 km², thus being the third city in terms of this indicator not only in the country, but also in the whole world. From north to south it stretches for 170 km, and from west to east - almost 150 km. Beijing on the map of China is located as an enclave inside the Hebei province, only in the east having 2 small (about 20 and 30 km, respectively) sections of the border with Tianjin, which is another city of central subordination. The territory of Beijing is divided into 14 districts and 2 counties. However, less than 5% of the capital’s population lives in 4 northern districts and counties, which together occupy half the city’s area.

The street map of Beijing clearly demonstrates the main distinctive feature of the city - a clear checkerboard structure combined with the presence of 6 ring roads. However, these roads fit into the cross-cutting character of the city and are shaped like truncated rectangles. This structure of the city is facilitated by its flat location. The maximum height of its central regions does not exceed 43 meters above sea level. But in the sparsely populated northern and northwestern parts of the city, mountain ranges and ridges begin. The highest point in Beijing is located here - Mount Dongling (2303 m).

Despite the fact that Beijing is located away from the country's largest rivers, a number of deep rivers flow through its territory. The largest of them are the Chaohe, Chaobaihe, Baihe, Wenyuhe, Beiyunhe and Yundinghe rivers. However, the most important waterway in the region is the world's largest and oldest hydraulic structure - the Grand Canal, which originates in Beijing and extends 1,782 km to the south. In addition, the city has several lakes, but almost all of them are of artificial origin. The largest lake in the central part of Beijing - Kunminghu - is about 2.2 km 2 and does not exceed 2 meters in depth.

Beijing climate

Beijing is located at the junction of not only geographical but also climatic regions. In general, the city lies in the monsoon continental climate region, but human activities significantly influence the weather in the city. Due to soil erosion in northern China, Beijing is subject to regular sandstorms during the dry winter season. The average summer temperature ranges from 24-28°C. At the same time, in winter the thermometer can drop to -3-5°C, but frosts down to -10-15°C are also not uncommon. The amount of precipitation in the region is low - about 550 mm per year. Up to 60% of them fall during July and August, and during the three winter months not even 10 mm of precipitation may fall.
