Forbidden City, the Tiananmen Square, the Temple of Heaven, the Summer
Palace, the Ming Tomb, the Lama Temple and the Peking Opera offer a step
back in time to the Beijing of a hundred or more years ago, guiding you to the

and shows better than anywhere, the rapid development of Chinese society.

History

Beijing, capital of the People's Republic of China, is the nation's political, economic, cultural, educational and international trade and communication center. Located in northern China, close to the port city of Tianjin and partially surrounded by Hebei Province, it also serves as the most important transportation hub and port of entry.

Beijing, one of the six ancient cities in China, 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 the city's ancient past and exciting modern development. Now it has become one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world, with about 140 million Chinese tourists and 4.4 million international visitors in a year.
