China travel guide - "Beijing" PDF Chapter
Few places on Earth can match the extraordinary historical panorama on display in Běijīng – there are six Unesco World Heritage sites in this city alone, just one less than the whole of Egypt. But this is also where China’s future is being shaped: Běijīng is the country’s political nerve centre, a business powerhouse and the heartbeat of China’s rapidly evolving cultural scene.
Coverage includes: History, Language, Sights, Activities, Courses, Sleeping, Eating, Drinking & Nightlife, Entertainment, Shopping, and Běijīng and around, The Great Wall, Ming Tombs, Chuāndixia, and Marco Polo Bridge & Wǎnpíng Town.
