The must see one, or to say as the place that can't be missed in your bucket list when you go to Beijing is 故宫 (Forbidden palace). As the name goes, it was really forbidden for a long time for commoners; as it's supposed to be protective place for the king and his family. And the architecture represents the early Ming dynasty and few other subsequent kingdoms have made changes. It's really that even a day won't be enough I would say, so on Day 1 have a look at the 天安门广场 (Tiananmen Square) and cover up part of the palace. There's also a VR place inside the palace where they take on a virtual journey about the palace. First day upto the Earth tower will be great. Yes, different towers represent Fire, Sky, Water, Turtle, Phoenix (sort of), Earth. The following day, cover up the rest of the palace and go to the park just behind the palace where you can get the view as in this picture. And most importantly don't forget to go around the 故宫 in the evening with all those glitters. There are a series of buildings that are built in straight line across the city, extending upto the Bell and Drum tower. On day 3, get immersed in the modern Beijing by visiting the CCTV headquarters, China world trade center tower III building and enjoy the Northern food. It'll be a perfect mix of ancient and modern. #qingmingtravel #urbanexplorer #beijingtravel #urbanexplorer#qingmingtravel#lightthecity
