As one of the world's great ancient capitals, and the capital of the world's upcoming superpower, Beijing is the most important and interesting city in China to travel, both for tourism and understanding China.
What is Beijing like? A sense of China's history (served as the capital of China in six ancient dynasties for 800 years), a cultural hub (opera, architecture, dialect, food, etc), and tourist friendliness (receiving about 3 million foreign visitors every year).
