Beijing - China
Welcome to my Beijing gallery, a vibrant collection capturing the dynamic spirit of China’s historic capital. Beijing, a city where ancient traditions meet modern innovation, is a treasure trove for seasoned travellers and solo adventurers alike. Join me in exploring the grandeur of the Forbidden City, the serene beauty of the Summer Palace, and the awe-inspiring Great Wall. Wander through the bustling streets of Wangfujing and discover the city's hidden hutongs. Fun fact: Beijing's Peking University was the first modern national university in China, founded in 1898! The best times to visit are spring and autumn, when the weather is pleasant, and the city's parks and gardens are in full bloom. Each photograph in this gallery is a window into Beijing’s rich cultural tapestry and timeless allure. Let my images inspire your next journey to this captivating city, where every corner tells a story.
