Love Muji? Then boy do we have the hotel for you. This beautifully designed hotel perfectly combines modernity and calm. 

For cushy seating and funky decor, there's nowhere we'd recommend for coffee more than Soloist. A public bathhouse in a previous life, Soloist brews up strong espressos and foams perfect lattes.

Whether you're on the hunt for a souvenir, in the mood to browse or are interested in learning more about Beijing's history, head to Beijing Postcards. They have a tremendous collection of old photos and maps of the city. Plus, they host events and neighbourhood walks where you can learn about the city's past.

The largest of Beijing's religious buildings, the Temple of Heaven is a beautiful example of Chinese ritual architecture. After a visit, you can enjoy a little trot through the neighbouring park it (it's the same size as New York's Central Park!).
