About Beijing
Driven by the desire to showcase its modern thriving society, host city Beijing has been
re-invented as a twenty first century destination for business and tourism. From the innovative National Olympic ‘Birds Nest’ Stadium to the Philippe Starck-designed restaurant 'LAN', Beijing has attracted capital investment and world-class talent in equal measure to emerge as a ‘must-see’ destination.
The city is steeped in history; you will see reminders of its long and colourful past everywhere you look, from the imperious Forbidden City and Summer Palace to traditional dance performances and sumptuous cuisine.
Beijing’s modern architecture sits in harmony with monuments to bygone ages. The feel of the city is one of hope and prosperity.
Today’s Beijing has everything for the discerning traveller: modern skyscrapers and traditional hutongs, luxury hotels and chic shopping malls, cultural museums and bustling markets, exquisite restaurants and spectacular nightlife.
In addition to your Olympic schedule, we are delighted to offer the opportunity to explore Beijing further, visiting some of the world’s oldest and most impressive sights. Our sightseeing trips will provide you with a greater understanding of Beijing and many chances to sample its wonderful food and culture.
