This 3-day itinerary to China takes you to the best of Beijing. UNESCO World Heritage site, Forbidden City, Tiananmen Square, Lama Temple, Summer Palace, a Peking duck dinner at Sinji Minfu, Jingshan Park China, The Great Wall cable car ride, Ming Tombs, street food tasting at the night market on Wangfujing Street, Olympic Park, and other traditional Chinese tourist attractions. It’s the perfect 3-day Beijing Itinerary.

Beijing was my first solo trip abroad. It took a lot to overcome my fear of traveling alone, but life is too short to sit back waiting for other people to buy a ticket to your dreams. Get out there and live! The reward is worth fighting through the discomfort.

My travel adventures began six years ago in Beijing, China. Now how does a chronically ill, broke, introvert with social anxiety and no experience traveling end up alone in Beijing, China? I’m glad you asked. Groupon, silly. For $999, I purchased an 8-day tour package to Beijing with flight, hotel, meals, and excursions included. In all honesty, it wasn’t that I had some burning desire to see China in particular. I simply wanted to visit every country in the world, and China seemed like as good a place as any to begin.
