This week on Travel Today with Peter Greenberg we come to you from Beijing, China. Forget the typical guided tour—Beijing is where Peter goes (often in a sidecar) to get lost in zigzagging hutongs, to explore seven world heritage sites (including the Great Wall and the Forbidden City), to sample Peking Duck, and to ride the fastest train in the world.

Lee Williamson, Editor of Time Out Beijing, talks about the Great Leap Forward and Caroline Killmer, managing editor of City Weekend, tells us where to find the best non-Chinese Asian food. All of this and more on this episode of Travel Today with Peter Greenberg.
