🏛️ Regional Must-Sees

Beijing:
A global city where skyscrapers stand alongside the Forbidden City, the Temple of Heaven, and the Summer Palaces. Don’t miss getting lost in the Hutongs—traditional alleyways that still pulse with the rhythm of old Beijing.

The Great Wall:
A true stone dragon winding along mountain ridges. Whether you choose restored sections or wilder trails, the sense of awe remains unchanged.

Datong & the Yungang Grottoes:
A treasure of Buddhist art carved directly into the rock, bearing witness to the spiritual exchanges along the Silk Road.

Pingyao:
A perfectly preserved medieval city, surrounded by its massive walls, offering an instant journey back to the Ming and Qing dynasties.

🏮 Culture & Gastronomy

The North also has a distinct atmosphere: a drier climate, cold but sunny winters, and a warm, welcoming culture.

Cuisine:
Forget rice—this is the land of wheat! Enjoy handmade jiaozi (dumplings), hand-pulled noodles, and of course the iconic Peking Duck, perfectly crisp and unforgettable.
