Beach near Beijing, China

Beijing Travel Guide

China

Beijing is China’s capital and a city of 21,766,214 people in the north of the country. Its large urban area means travellers should plan journeys around the part of the city they intend to visit.

Most international and domestic visitors arrive through Beijing Capital International Airport or Beijing Daxing International Airport. Beijing is inland, and there are no notable named beaches within 40 kilometres, so beach trips are not a central part of a visit.
