Beijing, China's capital, is a city well mixed with ancient culture and modern civilization. Each year, it draws tens of millions of visitors and tourists to enjoy its rich culture and beautiful scenery, both at home and abroad.
The best times to visit Beijing are March through May, and September through October. Such temperate seasons offer the best climate, let alone the vibrant scenery. Summer, by comparison, brings sweltering heat, and winter ushers in cold weather and sometimes snow.
Bohol-Panglao International Airport – is the main entry by air transportation to the provincial island of Bohol. Located in the City of Peace and Friendship, Tagbilaran, the newly open airport operates to replace the old terminal at Tagbilaran Airport located in the downtown area. Air Asia, Air Juan, Cebu Pacific, Philippine Airlines offer domestic flights to Manila, Boracay, Cagayan de Oro, Cebu City, Davao and Angeles. In addition, Philippine Airlines offers international flight to Seoul, Korea.
The Beijing Capital International Airport – is Beijing's principal international airport. It is situated 32 km north-east of Beijing's city centre, in the Chaoyang District Enclave and the surrounding area of the Shunyi District suburban enclave. The IATA airport code, PEK, for the airport is based on the former romanized name of the city, Peking.
Beijing's climate is part of the warm temperate zone, half humid continental monsoon climate, with four distinct seasons: arid multi-windy spring, hot and multi-rain summer, bright and fresh autumn, and cold and dry winters.
The Imperial Palace and the Forbidden City - The Forbidden City or The Imperial Palace is the most important attraction in China and can trace its history back to the 13th century Yuan Dynasty. Its enormous size is due to the enlargements made between 1406 and 1420 during the Ming Dynasty after the capital had been moved here from Nanking. 24 Ming and Qing Emperors were home to this magnificent palace, gaining its Forbidden City nickname because ordinary people were not given access.
The Great Wall of China - Undoubtedly one of the most famous historic structures in the country: China's Great Wall, is only one hour away from Beijing. Here at Badaling Pass, the first portion of the wall to be opened to visitors in the 1950s, you can enjoy a walk along an impressive 16th-century segment of the Great Wall that stands at the height of eight metres. You'll be able to admire several towers and parapets along the way, providing spectacular views over the stunning scenery surrounding. You can theoretically take a fun cable-car ride up to the wall while on a hilly walk. This much-visited section of the Great Wall can get busy so try preparing your trip for early arrival, or consider signing up for a tour if possible.
Tiananmen Square - The Tiananmen Square (the Heavenly Peace Square) is the largest inner-city square in the world, designed to hold a million people and constructed to commemorate the Chinese Republic's 10th anniversary in 1958. Considered the nucleus of communist China, the symbolic significance of the square dates back to May 4, 1919, when students protested in response to the Chinese terms of the Versailles Treaty. Highlights include the Monument to the Heroes of the People (Renmin Yingxiong Jìnianbei), a 38-meter-high obelisk made of 17,000 pieces of granite and marble, and the impressive Tiananmen Gate, the Gate of Divine Peace, completed in 1417 and once the main entrance to the Imperial City.
