China's 3,000-year-old capital — emperors' palaces, the Great Wall, street food and ancient hutongs.
Beijing packs more must-see sights than any other Chinese city: six UNESCO World Heritage sites, the world's largest palace complex, and the most dramatic restored Great Wall — all on a high-speed-rail hub. It's the natural start of almost every China trip and a perfect 240-hour transit visa-free stopover for eligible travelers using approved ports and onward third-country or region tickets.
