Beijing
The Capital of China is a modern but also still a very Chinese city. The traditional architecture of the old temples and the Forbidden City sits alongside the new architecture of the Olympic sites and the new CCTV-tower. The city is bursting with life, with new restaurants, bars, shops and art-galleries opening every day. The people of Beijing are friendly and approachable.
