Farther Afield

Beijing has more than enough sights to keep
the average visitor busy. However, after traveling
all this way, it would be a shame not to grasp
the opportunity to get out of the city. Of
course, the Great Wall of China is high on
the list for any visitor, but beyond the bustle
of Beijing there are also ancient temples
nestled on green hillsides and the vast
necropolis of the Ming emperors. To the
southwest is the 300-year-old stone Marco
Polo Bridge and neighboring Wanping,
a rare surviving example of a walled
city. Both are an easy suburban bus
ride from Beijing. Alternatively, most
hotels organize tours to these sights.
