Welcome to Beijing

Beijing is one of the four great ancient capitals of China with a history of more than 3,000 years. It is China's second largest city, with more than 17 million people. Beijing is recognized as the political, educational, and cultural center of China. It is described as "one of the world's great cities" and declares that the city has been an integral part of China’s history for centuries. This city is renowned for its opulent palaces, temples, and huge stone walls and gates. Nowadays Beijing has developed into an international modern city and hosted the 2008 Olympic Games successfully. The National Grand Theater, the 3rd Terminal Building of Beijing International Airport, “Bird Nest” National Stadium and “Water Cube” National Swimming Center are the modern signatures of this developing city.
