Visit Beijing(@VisitBeijingcn ):Anna Pernice came to Beijing solo — and the city met her exactly where she was. Lazy mornings by the lakes of Shichahai. Getting lost (deliberately) in the Forbidden City. A quiet hour at the Temple of Heaven that she probably didn't plan but definitely needed. Then the city turned up the volume — local flavors that actually delivered, an evening at Jixiang Theatre that she's still talking about, the buzz of Wangfujing after dark, and a morning at Huanghuacheng Lakeside Great Wall with almost no one else around. Solo, female, foreign — and not once did Beijing make that feel complicated. This is what it looks like when a city is just... ready for you. Beijing
