Destination & City Travel Guide

About Beijing

Beijing brings imperial palaces, hutong lanes and large modern districts into a city that rewards geographical planning. The Forbidden City and nearby central sights form one group, while the Summer Palace and Great Wall require separate outings. Travellers from India arriving at Beijing Capital Airport should distinguish it from Daxing Airport before arranging a pickup. The Capital Airport rail connection is useful for reaching the urban network, but the final transfer depends on the hotel district.

Read more about Beijing

What's new in Beijing

  • December 2025: the central section of Metro Line 17 opened between Workers' Stadium and Shilihe, adding connections through eastern central Beijing.
  • January 2026: Wangjingxi station opened on Line 17, creating another interchange with Lines 13 and 15 for journeys across northern Beijing.

Tips for travellers from India

Dongzhimen is a practical base when the airport rail connection is the main concern. A Qianmen stay instead places the focus on the older central streets. These choices serve different itineraries: a convenient arrival interchange and a heritage neighbourhood are not the same location.

Build a central day around the Forbidden City and its surroundings rather than appending the Summer Palace at the far end of the afternoon. The palace gardens deserve a separate northwest outing. A Great Wall excursion is a third commitment beyond the urban sightseeing circuit, with its own road journey and walking route.

Keep Capital and Daxing airport names visible in any transfer booking, especially when arriving on one airline and leaving on another. For evenings, remain in the neighbourhood already being explored: hutong lanes reward a slower walk, whereas the main avenues around the large monuments create much longer distances than a compact map implies. Qianmen and Dongzhimen therefore offer two distinct starting points for the same city.

Best time to visit Beijing

April to May or September to October, about 10–25°C, for open-air sites.
