This detailed street map of downtown Beijing shows the city's major points of interest.
Today, Beijing boasts a number of attractions that UNESCO designates as
being of significant cultural or historical importance. The primary
tourist attraction, the Imperial Palaces of the Forbidden City, with its
grand entrance, the Tiananmen Gate, is considered the epitome of imperial
architecture and is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The Summer Palace, which is an enormous park that was carefully planned
to ensure stunning views from every lake and building, has more than 3,000
structures on the property and is also considered a UNESCO World Heritage
Site.
The third attraction listed on the UNESCO World Heritage Site list is the Temple of Heaven. In addition to the many buildings here, the Temple of Heaven is also home to the beautiful Ming Dynasty Tombs.
While Beijing is certainly rich in history, visitors shouldn't forget
that it's also a modern, contemporary city that offers much more than
sightseeing. In addition to being home to the world-famous Beijing
Opera and the Lao She Tea House, Beijing offers world-class hotels and
restaurants. It also offers a unique shopping experience. A
trip to Beijing is not complete without visiting one of its many flea
markets and bargaining for goods such as coral, turquoise, and pearls.
