As the
capital of China, Beijing
is one of the world's truly imposing cities,
with a
3,000-year history and 11 million people. Covering 16,808
square kilometers in area, it is the political,
cultural and economic center of the People’s Republic.
Rich
in history, Beijing has been China’s primary capital for
more than seven centuries. China’s imperial past and
political present meet at Tiananmen square, where the
Forbidden City palace of the emperors gives way to the Great
Hall of the People congress building and the mausoleum of
Chairman Mao Zedong. The old city walls have been replaced
by ring roads, and many of the old residential districts of
alleys and courtyard houses have been turned into high-rise
hotels, office buildings, and department stores. Beijing, a
dynamic city where the old and new intermingle, remains a
magnet for visitors from inside and outside China.
