Daytrips around Beijing

Discover the grandeur of the Qing Dynasty at the Chengde Mountain Resort, just 80 minutes from Beijing by high-speed train. Lakes, palaces, and stunning temples await in this UNESCO-listed imperial retreat.

Experience one of the world's greatest wonders just outside Beijing. The Mutianyu section of the Great Wall offers stunning scenery, well-preserved towers, and far fewer crowds than other sections.

Step into China's imperial past at the Ming Tombs, a UNESCO World Heritage Site north of Beijing. Underground palaces, grand stone statues, and mountain scenery make this a truly memorable day trip.

Just 30 minutes from Beijing by high-speed train, Tianjin surprises with European colonial architecture, vibrant street food, and a unique cultural blend that feels worlds apart from the capital.
