Destination
The ancient start of the Silk Road, guarded by the Terracotta Army and wrapped in one of China's best-preserved city walls.
Few places compress so much history into a city you can explore in two days — and the Muslim Quarter's food streets are a destination in themselves.
History lovers, food-curious travellers, and anyone pairing Beijing's imperial story with its ancient origins.
- The Terracotta Army, early, before the tour groups arrive
- Cycling the full loop of the Ming city walls
- The Muslim Quarter's markets after dark
- Hand-pulled biangbiang noodles where locals eat them
