Flights to Beijing

Beijing thrust itself into the world’s consciousness in 2008 when it hosted a spectacular Olympic Games. China, the sleeping dragon, had awoken, and its capital announced that it was open for business.

The Olympics brought with it sweeping cultural and physical change to the city. Dizzying architectural heights were reached in the form of the Bird’s Nest stadium, the Water Cube and the Beijing Opera House. These contrast with the traditional courtyard homes, or hutongs, that still remain thanks largely to the city’s emerging middle classes who saw the opportunity these beautiful properties presented, and converted them into restaurants, hotels and high-end private properties.

The Games also rendered Beijing a far more accessible travel destination than it was before. For example, taking a taxi ride used to be an exercise in skilful diplomacy, innovative communication techniques, a lot of pointing, and seeing parts of the city you never intended to. Now, most cabbies speak some English, and are used to sharing their car with tourists. Furthermore, swathes of luxury hotels have been built, along with high-end restaurants that complement the city’s already excellent (and affordable) restaurant scene.

Happily, Beijing’s relentless renovation has spared the Forbidden City, which is as awe-inspiring as ever, the Drum and Bell Towers, and the Summer Palace, which sits just outside the city. These magnificent sites offer a reminder of Beijing’s rich imperial history. Meanwhile, the austere government buildings, the vastness of Tiananmen Square and wide boulevards, bespeak China’s modern-day might.

And while Beijing may be the capital of the People's Republic of China (PRC), the city has always maintained a mischievous undercurrent, which is embodied by the locals’ dry wit, as well as the exciting, often subversive, art and music scene, and pulsating nightlife.

What to do in Beijing

See Beijing a little differently

Since Beijing is so vast and full of history, it’s almost impossible to decide what to see during your stay. Beijing Sideways remedies this by offering citywide tours on classic China Chang Jiang 750 motorcycle sidecars. Tour guides are local residents, proficient in a multitude of languages, and skilled at dodging traffic.

Stroll down Nanluoguxiang

A perfect introduction to Beijing’s hutongs (and some great independent shops). Visitors have the chance to snap up fantastic souvenirs from Plastered, where T-shirt designs riff off communist propaganda posters, as well as visit the street’s abundant cafes and restaurants. Half the fun of Nanluoguxiang is exploring its side streets – one of which leads to the Drum and Bell Towers.

Scale the Great Wall

A visit to Beijing isn’t complete without a visit to the Great Wall of China. Even today, there are still huge lengths that remain relatively untouched and wonderful to explore. One such section lies between Jinshanling (two hours north east of Beijing) and Simatai, a 6km hike that affords wonderful views of the wall winding its way through the hills.

Temple Restaurant Beijing (French-Asian)

Australian firm Hassell designed this television-factory-turned-restaurant, where modern design elements mix with traditional Chinese accents to great effect.
