Beijing, which means the 'Northern Capital', is the spiritual, political and cultural center of China. The city speaks of China's imperial history; though today it is considered a modern and perhaps the most cosmopolitan part of China.
The city has a long and illustrious history of about 500,000 years and has endured invasions, the rise and fall of powerful dynasties, devastating fires but yet retains all its old world charm.
