Hi all,
Will be travelling to Beijing this coming June. Therefore would like to know how many liter of backpack that I need to buy for 10days there.
This is my very first backpacking experience.
Thank you.

Best advice we can give on that would be: Buy or gather everything you plan on taking with you. See how big of a box it takes to hold it all. It takes 60 cubic inches per liter. Measure the box.
This forum is dedicated to American style backpacking, where we carry everything on our backs and wander off into the wild to camp for days on end. I am assuming you will be staying in hostels and such, wandering around Beijing. Not the same. Still, the box trick should work for you.
Let me add this: No matter what you plan on taking, reduce it. The less you can get by with, the better off you will be. Take a 30 L pack and put your clothes in it. Add in some toiletries. A spare pr of shoes. Camera gear. That should do it. I might not carry the spare shoes, since you can buy shoes there if needed. Take an umbrella and a rain jacket. That should all fit inside a 30L pack.
10 days? 3 sets of clothing in the pack, 1 set worn.
