Beijing is the capital of the People's Republic of China. It covers 16,807.8 square kilometers. Spring and autumn are the perfect seasons for tourists because of the moderate temperature. The fall especially presents a “Golden Beijing” with clear and comfortable weather. The best times for touring Beijing are April, May, September and October.
However, travel in Beijing mainly focuses on cultural and historic sites, buildings of interest and folk customs, which do not depend on the weather. You may come to Beijing anytime during the year. The low-season prices offered by travel agencies and hotels in winter can make your tour more economical.
Tourist sight of old Peking: South Luogu Lane (Nanluoguxiang), an ancient alleyway (Hutong) in downtown Beijing and very close to Lake Houhai is getting more and more attention from media, local young generation and travelers. Located several kilometers north of the Forbidden City and just east of Houhai Lake, this North-South Hutong is filled with bars, cafes, clothing stores and handcraft shops all designed in classical Chinese ‘Hutong’ style.
