Trans-Siberian Railway travel guide - Beijing (PDF Chapter) Lonely Planet
For weary Trans-Siberian travellers, Běijīng (北京) will feel like the figurative pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. The 2008 Olympics were instrumental in transforming the Chinese capital, and perhaps for the first time since the Mongol invasion, Běijīng feels like a true international city, brimming with overseas business, cuisine of every kind, daring modern architecture and a thriving arts scene.
Coverage includes: History, Sights, Sleeping, Eating, Drinking & Nightlife, Entertainment, Shopping.
