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).

Beauty of Beijing
Colin (our tour guide) and Xia (our driver) were excellent! Colin took us to the places where it is not as crowded, took us to ecellent restaurants. He is also very knowledgeable with the history. Xia made sure our drive is smooth and dropped us off as close as possible to the areas to limit walking. A great team! Will request for them in the future when we come back. God bless! more
