About Beijing
Beijing is a sprawling city of more than twenty million people, known for its imperial history, wide boulevards and a mix of ancient temples and modern towers. It sits on a plain ringed by hills to the north and west, which is one reason air quality can change noticeably from day to day. The city has long been China's political and cultural centre, and its skyline reflects both old courtyard neighbourhoods and newer districts.
What the camera shows
As a general city stream, the view is most useful for judging visibility, cloud cover and haze rather than for picking out individual landmarks. Mornings and late afternoons often bring the clearest light, while heavy haze or dust storms, which occasionally sweep in from the north and west, can flatten the scene. Watch the stream at different times of day to see how conditions shift.
Climate and getting around
Beijing has a continental climate with hot, humid summers, cold dry winters and short springs and autumns. Autumn, from September to November, is generally the most comfortable season for visiting. The Great Wall at Mutianyu and the Badaling sections lie within reach of the city, and other nearby cameras on this site cover the Great Wall at a greater distance from the city.
