FOUR GREAT DAYS IN BEIJING

R apidly redeveloping Beijing changes on an almost weekly basis, so here are four days largely dedicated to giving a flavor of an older China before it vanishes. Famous sights like the Temple of Heaven and the Forbidden City, are safe from the bulldozers, but traditional hutong life is certainly under threat, as are the old open-air markets visited here, such as Guanyuan and Panjiayuan. There’s also a day spent away from the city at the Great Wall, a must for all visitors to Beijing. Energetic sightseers should manage everything on these itineraries, but this selection can also be dipped into for ideas. All walks are reachable by public transport. Price guides are for two adults or for a family of two adults and two children, excluding meals.
