The Great Wall is a must-see

Beijing has plenty to offer those who choose to visit the city over the coming months.

Those looking to get away over the coming months should find a trip to Beijing is most rewarding, as the city is at its best at this time of year.

The China Guide explains: "The trees are flowering, the wind is blowing lightly and the skies are blue. [It's the] perfect time of year to visit the northern capital."

Individuals who would like to visit the Great Wall should also discover the conditions are currently ideal, as the weather is mild enough to ensure such a trip is comfortable, yet just as impressive as during any other time.

Other destinations that would be worth seeing include the Forbidden City, the Summer Palace and the Temple of Heaven - all of which have beautiful blossoming flowers.

Alternatively, people can "escape the bustle of the city" and take a boat trip on Houhai Lake, where a vessel can be hired for one or two hours, allowing travel insurance policyholders and others to relax and unwind in the tranquil surroundings of the lake.

And individuals who like to keep a record of their holidays with a number of snapshots should be pleased to hear the lighting is "rich, clear and bright", making for stunning images, The China Guide claims.

It offers an exciting Sleep on the Great Wall Tour that often proves popular, where participants can wake up at sunrise and take some impressive pictures before doing a tour of the wall.

The site is listed as a Unesco World Heritage spot and parts of the structure are thought to date back thousands of years.
