LOCATION
Beijing, capital of the People's Republic of China, a modern metropolis with the
charm of the ancient East, is the nation's political and cultural center. The
metropolis is home to more than 13 million permanent and visiting residents. The
city offers visitors a moderate, continental climate. The city itself is both ancient
and modern. Beijing has existed as a city for more than 3,000 years. Home to six
UNESCO recognised world heritage sites, visitors may take in the historic beauty
of attractions such as The Forbidden City, The Great Wall of China, and the
Peking Man site at Zhoukoudian. Looking to the future, Beijing is set to host the
twenty ninth Summer Olympics in August of 2008. Not to miss destinations and
features include the Beijing Opera, the city's numerous cloisonné factories, and
the famous Hutongs, which means "small lanes." Shopping in Beijing offers the
visitor a real adventure. The city boasts a number of shopping districts including
the Panjiayuan Curio & Antique Market and Liulichang Street. Shoppers are
encouraged to bargain for what they want. Some even claim that haggling is the
best part of a shopping trip. Boasting a wealthy and lengthy heritage unmatched
in the world, Beijing nonetheless continues to modernise and is set to become
one of the leading capitals of the twenty first century.
