China Travel Guide: Unveiling Beijing's Gems

Join me on a unique journey through the heart of Beijing, where I felt like the only Australian amidst the city's ancient wonders. Explore the grandeur of the Forbidden City (故宫, Gùgōng), the serene beauty of the Summer Palace (颐和园, Yíhé Yuán), and the haunting ruins of Yuanmingyuan Park (圆明园, Yuánmíngyuán).

Dive into the rich history and cultural treasures of Imperial China as we walk through ancient courtyards, magnificent gardens, and the stories of powerful dynasties that shaped this incredible nation.

If you love exploring new cultures, or are planning your next adventure to China, this video series is for you.

That was fantastic Michael. I had not known about that unfinished Palace within The Forbidden City (FOMO). Didn’t get time to visit The Winter Palace Ruins.
