6D4N BEIJING 北京

  Beijing is a huge city with several district articles containing sightseeing, restaurant, nightlife and accommodation listings — consider printing them all. As the capital of the country set to dominate the 21st century, Běijīng is a city intoxicated by the spirit of change.

  Beijing has a monsoon-influenced continental climate with hot, humid summers and cold, dry winters. The best time to visit is in September and October, during the "Golden Autumn". Spring is the season for dust storms and is otherwise warm and dry.

  Food is an obsession for the Chinese and the dazzling array of different dishes you’ll encounter in Běijīng reflects the sheer joy locals take in eating. Apart from what’s on the local menu – succulent Peking duck, delicious dumplings, awesome hotpot – there’s food from every corner of China in the capital.

  “不到长城非好汉”，到北京不登长城，犹如到上海不游城隍庙一样，可说是北京必游的景点。北京不只是中国现代的首都，也是元、明、清三朝国都，所以拥有中国最高成就的古老建筑艺术与奇迹。走入百年紫禁之巅，仿佛穿梭时光，回到中国古宫廷时代，感受中国皇族生活；而走进北京老胡同，你可以体验市井平民的古早生活。

  四季分明是北京的特点。夏天炎热、冬天酷寒，所以最适合旅游的季节是春秋两季。十月以后，北京进入金秋季节，秋高气爽，正是旅游的最佳季节。到了一月，正是北京最冷的时节，大雪纷飞，染白了古老皇城，银色雪景叫人心旷神怡。

  北京烤鸭是北京风味的代表作，外相看起来金黄油亮，吃起来肉嫩可口，再搭配薄软的饼皮与及甜面酱，叫人回味无穷。
