Beijing is in the North of China, and is the capital
of the Peoples Republic of China. Beijing is known for lots of things, in 2008 the Olympics were held there. Also know for all its pollution or smog, which has been so bad lately scientists are calling it a nuclear winter. In Beijing there is lots of development taking place; New housing, new roads, and new sports venues, all just pop up over night. Throughout the city you can still see many treasures from nearly 2,000 years ago. The Imperial Capital is still able to be viewed, the treasures of the famous Forbidden City and the luxuriant pavilions and gardens of the Summer Palace. With all these aspects Beijing is the city that inspires, grows, but keeps the same traditions from many years ago. |
