swuhoo: Breathtaking view of the entire Forbidden City from above. Go on a clear day and check out CBD skyline too. Best 2RMB you'll spend.
N M: Come on a weekday, with clear weather, in the late afternoon and hike to the top to watch the sunset. Best view in Beijing
Sophie Arenas: Fantastic views of Beijing. Best to come before the sunset and see light come on the buildings. Great for dates.

Herbert Yang: 1) the best bar view in Beijing as you can see Chang'an Road from here. No other view can beat this. 2) Jazz performance in the corner; 3) much more quiet than the Xiu downstairs
Dom B: Best view in town, much nicer atmosphere and interiors then Atmosphere across the block
Frédéric 🇪🇺: Cocktails are top notch, but the best here is probably the 360 view of downtown Beijing (not that there is much to see...). Great for a relaxed drink listening to music. Tip: book a table on weekends.

Melissa Kaita: Stay in The Lookout -- great views from your own personal patio, and an amazing place to have your coffee in the morning.
Nevin: Elegant home away from home in the center of the hutongs. Breakfast with a view, and they're nice enough to serve it till noon. Dumpling class too!
Cranberry Mary: It's a hidden good place in a tiny hutong, the view is amazing on the 3rd floor with sunset and Gulou temple. The clams and steak are dedicated made and I had to say the clams are the best in town!

Andrew BC 翁 ÔNG: Great gardens, best scenic views & its remarkable architecture surroundings.
