Description
BEIJING, an ancient yet modern city with coloured cultures, is the capital of the People's Republic of China. In its 3,000-year-old history, it had been the capital of many imperial dynasties, leaving numerous rich and precious cultural heritages. It is probably the first city you must see on your trip to China.
Starting from an introduction to the history of the capital, the book explores many places of interest in Beijing, such as the Tian'anmen, Great Wall Forbidden City, summer Palace, imperial tombs, temples, and museums, in detailed descriptions including bus route, opening time and admission fee for the convenience of the tourists.
Sight-seeing is an important part in a tourist's plan, but not the only one. There are so many to see and to experience by yourself in Beijing. This book also provides special and practical chapters like "Transport", "Useful Information", "Beijing in the Morning", "Entertainment & Nightlife", "Eating Guide", "Shopping Guide", "Hotel Guide" and "Language Guide", as well as "one-day, two-day and three-day tour guides".
The book, highly illustrated with many photos, maps and charts, is written in English and designated to gear to the convenience of tourists, with rich information and interesting legends and anecdotes. Tourists to Beijing may find it useful and essential.
