 Beijing
- China
Beijing is the capital of the People's Republic
of China and is the nation's center of government,
economy, culture, and international activities. It
has 18 districts and counties, with an area of 16,800
square kilometers and a population of 11 million.
Beijing (meaning Northern Capital ) is a place of
both ancient history and dazzling modernity. The city
itself is traversed by freeways and hundreds of flyovers.
High-rises adorn the length of this city making it
a major metropolis within China. Beijing, however,
is a city of bewildering juxtapositions. Despite the
urban construction that makes it modern, Beijing has
a long history. It’s history started as early
as 500 000 years ago, when Peking Man lived there.
It is an ancient cultural city that served for more
than 800 years as the capital of the Liao, Jin, Yuan,
Ming, and Qing dynasties. Beijing is now known for
its many special places of interest...
From the magnificent Forbidden City, with its stunning
wealth of treasures, visitors can begin their journey
through the streets and lanes of Beijing. Moving outside
the center, one moves away from the hustle of daily
life, and into the tranquil pace of ancient times
and traditions. Palaces, parks, narrow alleyways and
ancient sites such as the YongheGong, reveal a different
side of Beijing. The Temple of Heaven's vast grounds
are a pleasure to visit year-round, and are enchanting
during a snowstorm.
While visiting Beijing, take some time to hike outside
of the city. Excursions may involve a visit to the
Ming Tombs or perhaps a simple picnic amid the historic
ruins. The Great Wall, a site not to be missed, encompasses
many small villages. Visitors should also consider
traveling into the countryside and taking a glimpse
of village life. Overall, Beijing is a city that is
fascinating and is rich in cultural treasures. It
provides visitors with a cosmopolitan view of urban
modernity, as well as imparting a deep respect for
times past!
