 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 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, it has a long history. Beijing is now known for
its many special places of interest.
Visitors can find refuge
in the suburbs,in such places as the Summer Palaces and the Western
Hills, which have been favored retreats since imperial times.
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. |
