Beijing is a phenomenal city. Its long and illustrious history started some 500,000 years ago. For more than 800 years, Beijing was a capital city - from the Yuan Dynasty to the Ming and Qing dynasties. Thirty-four emperors have lived and ruled the nation in Beijing and it has been an important trading city from its earliest days.
Although Beijing now is modern, fashionable and full of 21st Century vitality, you can experience authentic Beijing life and become acquainted with "old Beijing" by exploring its many teahouses, temple fairs, Beijing's Hutong and Courtyard and enjoy the Peking Opera. Add any or all of these to your Beijing vacation and you will leave with a feeling of special appreciation in your heart for this ancient city.
With the biggest central square in the world - Tian'anmen Square, the Forbidden City, the Great Wall and the Temple of Heaven, Beijing attracts both domestic and foreign visitors who all come wonder at its century-old history and unique cultural relics.
Dwelling too much on the historical past of Beijing may give the false impression that it is it little more than an ancient city in style but this is definitely not so! Strolling around Beijing, you will find it has much in common with any other great metropolis elsewhere in today's world. There are towering skyscrapers, busy shopping malls and an endless stream of traffic that makes the city much the same as others. However, although you will find multinational chains with their own brands on offer, nowhere else on earth you will find such a variety of gourmet Chinese restaurants offering the very best of the eight different styles of Chinese cuisine as well as western style dishes. Modern Beijing hotels offer the highest standards of service and convenience.
After a day's exploration of the city, nighttime can hold other surprises for you. These can vary from traditional performances such as the Beijing Opera, acrobatics and martial arts to modern ones including concerts, ballroom dancing, pubs and clubs. Each and every one has its enchantment for the tourist. No description of this capital city is complete without mention of the friendly people who throng the streets. Everywhere you will encounter smiling faces and a welcome. All these things add up to make your Beijing vacation a true cultural experience of a lifetime.
No words can adequately express all the charm of Beijing, therefore the only way to appreciate it fully is to experience it yourself. In 2008 Beijing will host the Olympic Games. It is strongly recommended to plan your Beijing vacation beforehand.
