Beijing

By William Lindesay

The capital of China for most of the past seven centuries, Beijing lies at the heart of a nation of more than a billion people. A wealth of historical monuments bear witness to the city's fabulous past -- the Great Wall, the Forbidden City, the Temple of Heaven, the Ming Tombs. But there Is also much that Is new to Intrigue the visitor. No city reflects more clearly China's continuing struggle to balance its historical legacy with the challenges of opening to the outside world.
