Local gems in Beijing

Beijing has a quieter side that reveals itself through places like Beihai Park, where locals stroll along the lake away from the busier sights. The Capital Museum offers a thoughtful look at the city's layered history, while the Beijing Concert Hall draws a dedicated local audience for classical performances. The CCTV Tower and Beijing Olympic Tower frame the city's contemporary skyline. Further afield, the China Aviation Museum, the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception Xianwumen, Beijing Shijingshan Amusement Park, and landmarks such as the Capital Indoor Stadium and Beijing Workers' Stadium round out a side of the city that rewards the curious visitor.
