Find a cheap flight to Beijing

Bejing is served by Bejing Capital Airport. Being the political and cultural heart of China for centuries, Bejing offers wonders you'll find nowhere else while keeping you current with structures like the Bird's Nest, built for the 2008 Summer Olympics. Explore the many monuments, parks and palaces. Be amazed by the Great Wall, inspired by the Forbidden City and soak up the scenery from a boat on the Kunming Lake at the Summer Palace, or get lost in a narrow hutong. Under a red flag in a glass case in a hall on Tiananmen Square in central Beijing is the waxy body of Mao Zedong. With a reverent church-like atmosphere, this place is an unforgettable experience for tourists and Chinese alike. With so many temples and so much culture to experience, you may forget to check out the incredible shopping and delicious food. Beijing is a great place to pick yourself up some a traditional Chinese silken qi pao, or have a Western style suit tailor made.

China is a large and diverse country. It is divided into very distinct regions. The most familiar regions of China are the east or 'land of fish and rice' where you find China's cosmopolitan economic center along with traditional water towns and the southeast, the manufacturing powerhouse and where most of the people who migrate to other countries originate. When discovering China it would be interesting to go to the exotic south-west, home to spectacular scenery and minority peoples. This is great for backpacking. Of course no trip would be complete without exploring the Yellow River Basin area in the North where you find the historic heartland.
