Beijing is of course a must-see for any visitor to China, as it is full of photogenic sites. Bright red flags offer a stark contrast to the somber grey of the expansive Tiananmen Square. Countless courtyards offer ample opportunities to capture the beautiful orange-roofed pavilions of the famous Forbidden City. Flowers abound in the lively Jingshan Park. The Summer Palace is built around a peaceful lake and features magnificently painted galleries, while a beautiful blue and gold altar towers over the Temple of Heaven complex. Apart from the sites, bustling Beijing is also ideal for people-watching in its narrow streets (the Hutongs) and numerous temples.
