Holidays to Beijing often include other areas of China too, as Beijing is a great location to combine on a longer twin centre holiday or multi centre holiday to China. Alternatively, we can arrange a city break to Beijing if you prefer a shorter visit. Combine Beijing with Xi'an, Shanghai and other areas of China. We also have a range of touring holidays to China that include Beijing. It’s a perfect location to start your China holiday.

With a 3,000 year history, Beijing is one of the most fascinating parts of China, and a must-see on any itinerary. Famous sights such as the Great Wall of China, the Forbidden City and Tiananmen Square simply must be visited!
