As the capital of the People's Republic of China, Beijing is the nation's
political, economic, cultural and educational center as well as being the
China's most important center for international trade and communications. It
has been the heart and soul of politics and society throughout its long
history and consequently there is an unparalleled wealth of discovery to
delight and intrigue travelers as they explore Beijing's ancient past and
enjoy its exciting modern development.
How can one city boast so many phenomenal places? Beijing's long and illustrious history started some 500,000 years ago. It is here that the ancestors of modern Homo sapiens, Peking men, lived in caves. Records show that Beijing has been an inhabited city for more than three thousand years and has endured invasions by war-lords and foreign powers, devastating fires, the rise and fall of powerful imperial dynasties and has emerged each time as a strong and vibrant city. For more than 800 years, Beijing was a capital city - from the Yuan Dynasty to the Ming and Qing dynasties. Thirty-four emperors have lived and ruled the nation in Beijing and it has been an important trading city from its earliest days. |

 Although Beijing now is modern, fashionable and full of 21st Century
vitality, you can experience authentic Beijing life and become acquainted
with "old Beijing" by exploring its many teahouses, temple fairs, Beijing's
Hutong and Courtyard and enjoy the Peking Opera. Add any or all of these to
your Beijing tour and you will leave with a feeling of special appreciation
in your heart for this ancient city that has truly seen it all and tells its
story with matchless grace, charm and vigor.
With the biggest central square in the world - Tian'anmen Square, the Forbidden City that is the largest and best-preserved imperial palace complex, a superbly preserved section of the Great Wall, as well as the largest sacrificial complex in the world - the Temple of Heaven, Beijing attracts both domestic and foreign visitors who all come wonder at its century-old history and unique cultural relics. Dwelling too much on the historical past of Beijing may give the false impression that it is it little more than an ancient city in style but this is definitely not so! Strolling around Beijing, you'll find it has much in common with any other great metropolis elsewhere in today's world. There are towering skyscrapers; busy shopping malls and an endless stream of traffic that makes the city the much the same as others. However, although you will find multinational chains with their own brands on offer, nowhere else on earth will you find such a variety of gourmet Chinese restaurants offering the very best of the eight different styles of Chinese cuisine as well as western style dishes. Modern hotels abound, each offering the highest standards of service and convenience.
No words can adequately express all the charm of Beijing, therefore the only way to appreciate it fully is to experience for yourself. In 2008 Beijing will host the Olympic Games. The city will take this opportunity to show the world something so special that everyone is sure to be awestruck by Beijing's latest accomplishments combined with its ancient history. |
