Yanqing accommodation from NZ$105

No visit to Yanqing would be complete without a visit to the Great Wall of China. The Beijing Greatwall Hotel and Beijing Badaling Tieguowang Inn are within a 100 metres radius of Great Wall of China.

The Jufule Hotel Beijing Longqingxia can be found 12 kilometres from the main part of Yanqing. Alternatively, the Beijing Greatwall Hotel is 25 kilometres away. Some more options worth checking out around Yanqing include the Beijing Badaling Tieguowang Inn and the Soluxe Convention Center Hotel Beijing.

But wait, there's more! Beijing offers heaps of other great things to do and see. Explore the historic palaces, temples and history museums in Beijing, or simply head off with that someone special and admire the region's steppe. Common activities in this part of China include bungee jumping.

Another destination is Beijing, which is 75 kilometres to the south of the heart of Yanqing. This is the place to find the Forbidden City, Tiananmen Square and Temple of Heaven. Accommodations in Beijing include the Poly Plaza Hotel and Oriental Garden Hotel.

Before you say "adios" to North China, make sure you experience some local sport. Find National Aquatics Center to the south of Yanqing. Sports fans wishing to sleep near to the action can take their choice from the Crowne Plaza Beijing Sun Palace or the Super 8 Hotel Hepingli - Beijing.

Travellers planning on arriving or departing via Capital International Airport might like to book a bed at the Hilton Beijing Capital Airport or the Langham Place Beijing Capital Airport, both of which are a short taxi ride away.
