Beijing is one of the world's great ancient capitals — where imperial palaces, temple complexes and Ming dynasty walls survive alongside the hyper-modern Olympic architecture and world-class cultural institutions.
Beijing's scale and grandeur are almost incomprehensible. The Forbidden City is the world's largest ancient palace complex; the Great Wall snakes across mountain ridges; Tiananmen Square is the biggest public square on earth. It rewards patient exploration.
