A UNESCO World Heritage site, Temple of Heaven was once visited by the Emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties for annual ceremonies of prayer. Built in the 15th century, the temple is open to the public and includes a vast, surrounding park. © Sean Pavone | Dreamstime.com
Make time to see a Beijing opera performance, a lively showcase of music, singing, dance, martial arts, acrobatics and mime. Popular in Beijing since the 17th century, the Beijing opera (also known as Peking opera) features four main role types: gentlemen, women, rough men and clowns. © Hao Hu | Dreamstime.com
Perhaps one of the most iconic spots in Beijing, the Forbidden City was the center of political power in China for more than 500 years. The former residence of Ming and Qing dynasty Emperors, the UNESCO World Heritage site has more than 8,000 rooms and its own museum. © Hungchungchih | Dreamstime.com
Beijing is one of the best spots in China to see the Great Wall of China. Sections of the wall in and a little outside of the city include Badaling and Mutianyu, as well as Juyonguan and Simatai. In Beijing, more than 350 miles of the Great Wall can be seen. © xiaoyong | Dreamstime.com
Beijing opera performances are as much about the movements and vocals as they are about costumes and masks. Different colors symbolize different traits. For instance, red denotes loyalty, courage and integrity. Red, white and black were the original three colors used on masks before evolving to incorporate other hues. © Haotian | Dreamstime.com
Also known as National Aquatics Center, the Water Cube is a swimming center original constructed for the 2008 Summer Olympics and Paralympics. The site of 25 world records, the Water Cube’s unique architecture features bubbles. Today, the Cube hosts light shows and features an indoor water park. © Hupeng | Dreamstime.com
Night markets are the best places to taste authentic street food. Popular markets include Donghuamen Night Market, Wangfujing Snack Street and Qianmen Snack Street. At Guijie Street, try the spicy lobster, a specialty. © Chrispyphoto | Dreamstime.com
