Beijing has a rich history spanning over three millennia, and is famous for its opulent palaces, temples, walls and gates. Its art treasures and universities have long made it a center of culture and art in China.

The Great Wall

One of the top attractions is The Great Wall of China, a UNESCO World Heritage Site stretching over 13,000 miles. Renting a car allows you to visit less crowded and more scenic parts of the wall like Jinshanling and Huanghuacheng.
