Day 1 - Beijing
Romance is all about the setting, and there is no better setting than Beihai park. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is a serenely beautiful place with stunning lakes and rock gardens for you and your partner to lazily wander round. After a morning of walking you can both enjoy a sensual massage at Bodhi – there is nothing more romantic than getting pampered with your partner and feeling great. Try a traditional courtyard restaurant for a bit of old-world atmosphere at dinner, and then head to the funky Lan bar for stunning décor, good service and tasty cocktails.
