For those looking to experience the very best on their visit to Beijing including luxurious indulgences and unique experiences, this guide has what you need to know!
Accommodation
When it comes to holidays in Beijing, Daxing accommodation makes an ideal choice; for added comfort and space, consider a penthouse from the likes of Somerset Daxing Beijing that features an elegant living room and dining area, home entertainment system, Nespresso coffee machine, Wi-Fi connectivity and more. Such properties also offer a limousine service, a video room for private movie screenings, an indoor heated pool and a sauna & steam room, all to ensure you can truly enjoy a memorable stay.
Things to Do
To gain deeper insights into the many attractions in Beijing, splurge on private guided tours that can even have meals included. You can enjoy such excursions to sites like the Forbidden City, Great Wall of China, Summer Palace, Temple of Heaven, and the ancient hutongs (alleyways) of the city; for something truly unforgettable, you can take a helicopter tour to see the Great Wall’s Mutianyu section from up high. Once the day is done, head to a boutique spa, like Kocoon Spa for some well-deserved pampering!
Dining
You also get private tours where you will not only learn about the history and culture of China but sample some of the best local dishes be it dim sum, Peking duck or Beijing hotpot. For more culinary discoveries, consider heading to some of the Michelin star restaurants in Beijing like King’s Joy and Xin Rong Ji (Xinyuan South Road) which both have three stars. You also get other dining venues that are worth visiting like Meifu Jiayan with its distinctive setting taking you back to China in the 1930s.
When To Go
The months from March to May which is the spring season and then again from September to October which encompasses the autumn season, are ideal times to visit; the weather is great and temperatures pleasant for exploring. That said, the summer months from June to August are popular too though you will have to deal with high temperatures, while those who don’t mind the cold can discover Beijing in winter from November to February.
