Northern China
Home » China » China Major Cities and Regions » Northern ChinaBeijing is perhaps the best-known city in Northern China. It is a surprisingly modern city and is home to many freeways and high rises. Just north of the city is perhaps the most well-known landmark in all of China, the Great Wall. Other attractions include the Forbidden City and Tian’anmen Square. Outside the center of the city, the pace of life gets calmer and visitors can take in ancient sites such as the Yonghe Gong, Observatory, and the Temple of Heaven. The city has a population of twelve million, most of which are housed in apartments. Beijing has one of the worst climates of all the Chinese cities. The temperature in winter can get down to 20 below and summer brings stifling heat. The best time to visit is September or October.
