Another good sale to China from AA today. Things we recommend everyone should do while visiting Beijing:
- The Great Wall – Mutianyu section. Badaling is overrun with tourists. In Mutianyu, you will likely to have whole sections to yourself
- The Forbidden City – it is a mad house, but worth the visit
- Peking Duck – we really like the Peking Duck at Made in China inside the Grand Hyatt Beijing. Make sure you order it in advance
- Hand pulled noodles – we like the noodles at the Noodle Bar inside the 1949 complex
