You step out of the airport into a cool ribbon of city air, a private guide holding a sign with your name. In under an hour the car moves from terminals to avenues; the city unfurls—gridded boulevards, the broad face of Tian'anmen Square, and the pale rooflines of the Forbidden City catching light.

History
Beijing’s core preserves imperial planning: the Forbidden City served as the Ming and Qing dynasties’ palace, while the Temple of Heaven hosted seasonal rituals for harvest and state prayer.
Conservation
High visitor numbers strain historic sites and water resources; follow posted rules, avoid single-use plastics, and use facility lockers rather than leaving waste in courtyards.

Bring your passport and booking details
You must present your passport and the names provided at booking for site admissions and hot-spring entry—keep photocopies in a separate bag.
Build in buffer time for airport logistics
Allow extra time for customs, traffic, and the guide’s posted waiting window—Terminal 1–2: 90 minutes; Terminal 3: 2 hours.
Hydrate before and after the hot spring
Hot mineral baths can dehydrate; drink water between sightseeing and your soak, especially in summer.
Wear modest, slip-resistant footwear
Temples and palace platforms have stone steps and slick floors; choose closed, comfortable shoes and modest attire for hot-spring changing areas.
Passport and booking confirmation
Required for admission, hot-spring entry, and to match reserved tickets.
Comfortable walking shoes
Closed, supportive shoes are useful for palace steps, hutong alleys, and temple platforms.
Portable power bank
Keeps phone charged for photos, digital tickets, and communicating with your guide.
Light rain jacket or compact umbrella
Summer showers are common; a compact jacket keeps you and valuables dry between stops.
