Destination & City Travel Guide
About Beijing
Beijing brings imperial palaces, hutong lanes and large modern districts into a city that rewards geographical planning. The Forbidden City and nearby central sights form one group, while the Summer Palace and Great Wall require separate outings. Travellers from India arriving at Beijing Capital Airport should distinguish it from Daxing Airport before arranging a pickup. The Capital Airport rail connection is useful for reaching the urban network, but the final transfer depends on the hotel district.

What's new in Beijing
- December 2025: the central section of Metro Line 17 opened between Workers' Stadium and Shilihe, adding connections through eastern central Beijing.
- January 2026: Wangjingxi station opened on Line 17, creating another interchange with Lines 13 and 15 for journeys across northern Beijing.
Tips for travellers from India
Dongzhimen is a practical base when the airport rail connection is the main concern. A Qianmen stay instead places the focus on the older central streets. These choices serve different itineraries: a convenient arrival interchange and a heritage neighbourhood are not the same location.
Build a central day around the Forbidden City and its surroundings rather than appending the Summer Palace at the far end of the afternoon. The palace gardens deserve a separate northwest outing. A Great Wall excursion is a third commitment beyond the urban sightseeing circuit, with its own road journey and walking route.
Keep Capital and Daxing airport names visible in any transfer booking, especially when arriving on one airline and leaving on another. For evenings, remain in the neighbourhood already being explored: hutong lanes reward a slower walk, whereas the main avenues around the large monuments create much longer distances than a compact map implies. Qianmen and Dongzhimen therefore offer two distinct starting points for the same city.
Best time to visit Beijing
April to May or September to October, about 10–25°C, for open-air sites.

Beijing Capital International Airport (PEK). Asiana Airlines moved its Beijing Capital arrivals and departures from Terminal 3 to Terminal 2 on 1 September 2026. Terminal assignments differ by airline and route, so a connecting booking needs its own terminal check.
About Colombo
Colombo is often the first Sri Lankan stop after landing at Bandaranaike International Airport near Katunayake. Pettah’s market streets, the Gangaramaya temple and Galle Face Green show different parts of the city within a compact area, although road traffic changes the pace. The National Museum adds an indoor visit, and Colombo Fort remains an important transport point. Indian travellers can spend a day here before taking a train south or beginning a wider island route.
Read more about Colombo
Tips for travellers from India
Fort is the practical choice when a rail departure forms part of a short stay; Galle Face instead puts the seafront within easy reach. Cinnamon Gardens suits the National Museum and Independence Square. Bandaranaike Airport is at Katunayake, outside Colombo, so an airport hotel and a central city hotel serve different purposes. A late arrival followed by an early flight may favour the airport area, whereas a day of sightseeing needs the road transfer into Colombo itself.
Pettah and Fort fit together as a market-and-architecture walk, while Gangaramaya and the nearby lake area belong to another circuit. The National Museum is a collection visit rather than a brief stop on the way to a train, so pair it with Cinnamon Gardens. Galle Face Green is a flexible evening endpoint after those indoor sights. City of Dreams Sri Lanka opened in August 2025, adding hotel, dining and entertainment facilities to the central waterfront area; it is separate from the older museum district. For onward rail travel, identify Colombo Fort station on the ticket rather than treating every Colombo station as interchangeable. Pettah’s commercial lanes can be awkward with wheeled luggage, making Fort accommodation useful when combining a market visit with an onward train.
Best time to visit Colombo
December to March, around 23–32°C, with comparatively drier west-coast weather.
