Meander through the colony of mausoleums built hundreds of years ago and be transported. While less frequented than the Great Wall or the Forbidden City, the Ming Dynasty Tombs are a lovely place to visit on a sunny day.
This Mongolian yurt-style restaurant is a true experience. This ain't your usual white-tablecloth spot. The vibe is surprisingly raucous, so it's the perfect place for a celebration or a big group. Lamb is their bread and butter; vegetarians are probably better off elsewhere.
This stunning park (also called the Old Summer Palace) has a peaceful, relaxed vibe. Enjoy the fresh air as you take in the beauty of the surrounding grounds and buildings.
