Beijing
The capital of the People’s Republic of China and a cosmopolitan world city, Beijing’s history and current role make it a place where ancient and modern worlds blend. From the laneways of old Beijing, where you can witness centuries-old Chinese architecture, to the National Stadium, commonly known as the ‘bird’s nest’, the continuity, diversity and vitality of Beijing are always apparent.
