If you're new to the city and looking for some great restaurants that exude "Beijing", these are for you. Many are difficult to find but all are worth the trip. These are especially great places to take visiting friends and family. Enjoy!
For a quick but thorough look at Beijing this guide starts at Tiananmen for the flag raising ceremony, then moves to Jingshan Park, Nanluoguxiang, lunch and the city's North gate and Bell Tower.
