Climate
Beijing is a city with four distinct seasons. Its best is late spring and autumn, besides autumn is taken as the golden tourist season of the year with generous sunshine. We suggest tourists visit Beijing during the months of May, September, and October when people can enjoy bright sunshine and blue skies. If you like winter, you will have other chances to appreciate another landscape of Beijing, which is really the fun of tour in Beijing. Please keep warm and remember to bring your down garments and sweaters when you visit Beijing in the winter. |

Attractions
The construction of the Great Wall started during the Warring States Period on 7th century B.C, it had a history of more than 2,500 years. Many dukedoms built walls in Central China to protect themselfs and their northern territories. When Qin Shihuang, the first emperor in Chinese history, unified China and established the first centralised feudal state in China, he decided to have the walls linked up and extended.
Those who succeeded in climbing the wall today are often regarded as "Real heroes", from this we should realize the difficulty in climbing the wall, and can imagine how difficult it is to build the Great Wall without modern machinery at that time.
In Beijing, the Great Wall is about 630 km long, 6 sections of the Great Wall have been opened to visitors. There are Badaling Section, Juyongguan Section, Simatai Section, Mutianyu Section, Jinshanling Section and Gubeikou Section.
About Summer Palace
Located in the northwest suburb of Beijing, this is China's best preserved imperial garden famous for its scenery and cultural relice. It consists mainly of Wanshou (Longevity) Hill and Kunming Lake. The garden was burned by the allied British-French troops in 1860. From 1885 to 1895, Empress Dowager Ci'xi (1835-1908) of the Qing Dynasty had it restored with fund intended for naval development. Since Dowager Ci'xi lived and attended to the state affairs here during the summers, the place also derived the name of Summer Palace.

Located in the Southern part of urban Beijing, this was where the Ming and Qing emperors went to worship Heaven and pray for better harvest. With an area of 270 hectares, Temple of Heaven counts as the world's largest extant group of temple buildings. Its distinct architectural design and pattern represents the ancient belief of round heaven, square earth, and the supreme imperial power.

About Tian'anmen Square and its Surroundings
At the veryheart of Beijing, sits Tian'anmen Square, the largest urban square in the world. This vast space, measuring 40 hectares, has a historical significance to rival its size. Enlarged in the 1960s, Tian'anmen Square now measures 880 meters from north to south, 500 meters from east to west and can accommodate up to one million people.
