I love the super-soft fleece pockets that keep my hands cozy, and the compressive cuffs that lock in extra warmth.

Why we love it: Come winter, you'll probably spot dozens of travelers wearing winter coats from The North Face—and for good reason.

Born and raised in Hebei—the province that, on the map, appears to wrap two arms around Beijing in a loving hug—restaurateur Amy Li moved to the Chinese capital some 26 years ago to live and work.

Li loves Beijing's multifaceted nature, citing both the “powerful sense of order” wrought by such landmarks as the Forbidden City, Tiananmen Square, and the Wall as well as the messy chaos of Old Beijing's hutong—here, she lays out what you can't miss of the old as well as the new on a visit.
