As the capital of China, Beijing is located in
northern China, close to Tianjin Municipality
and partially surrounded by Hebei Province. The city covers an area of
more than 16,410 square kilometers (6,336 square miles) and has a
population of 14.93 million people.
Beijing is a city
with four distinct seasons. Its best is late spring and autumn. But
autumn is taken as the golden tourist season of the year since there is
sometimes in the spring of recent years, a yellow wind. We suggest
tourists visit Beijing during the
months of May, September, and October when people can enjoy bright
sunshine and blue skies. An abundance of international class
performances are presented in May. If you like winter, you will have
other chances to appreciate another landscape of Beijing. After skiing
in Beihai and
viewing the snowy sights on West Hill, enjoying
the steaming hotpot is the best choice, which is really the fun of tour
in Beijing. Please
keep warm and remember to bring your down garments and sweaters when you
visit Beijing in
the winter.

How can one city boast so many
phenomenal places? Beijing's long and
illustrious history started some 500,000 years ago. It is here
that the ancestors of modern Homo sapiens, Peking men, lived in
caves. Records show that Beijing has been an
inhabited city for more than three thousand years and has endured
invasions by warlords and foreign powers, devastating fires, the rise
and fall of powerful imperial dynasties and has emerged each time as a
strong and vibrant city. For more than 800 years, Beijing was a capital
city - from the Yuan Dynasty (1271 - 1368) to the Ming (1368 - 1644) and
Qing (1644 - 1911) dynasties. Thirty-four emperors have lived and ruled
the nation in Beijing and it has
been an important trading city from its earliest days.
Although now Beijing is a modern
and fashionable city complete with a full 21st Century vitality, you can
experience authentic Beijing life and
become acquainted with 'old Beijing' by exploring its many teahouses,
temple fairs, Beijing's Hutong and Courtyard and enjoy
the Peking Opera. Add any or all of these to your Beijing Eco-tour and
you will leave with a feeling of special appreciation in your heart for
this ancient city that has truly seen it all and tells its story with
matchless grace, charm and vigor.
With the biggest central square
in the world - Tian'anmen Square,
the Forbidden City
that is the largest and best-preserved imperial palace complex, a
superbly preserved section of the Great Wall,as well as
the largest sacrificial complex in the world - the Temple of Heaven, Beijing attracts both
domestic and foreign visitors who all come to wonder at its century-old
history and unique cultural relics.
Dwelling too much on the
historical past of Beijing may give
tourists the false impression that it is little more than an ancient
city in style but this is definitely not so! Strolling around Beijing, you'll find
it has much in common with any other great metropolis elsewhere in
today's world. There are towering skyscrapers; busy shopping malls and
an endless stream of traffic that makes the city much the same as
others. The most famous and popular commercial circles and commercial pedestrian streets are predominantly
located near the Yansha Shopping Mall, Tiananmen and Wangfujing Street,
Guomao Shopping Mall, Qianmen Street and
Xidan Street,
etc. However, although you will find multinational chains with their
own brands to offer, nowhere else on earth will you find such a variety
of gourmet Chinese restaurants offering the very best of the eight
different styles of Chinese cuisine as
well as western style dishes. Modern hotels abound, each offering the
highest standards of service and convenience.
After a day's Beijing Eco-tours,
night time can hold other surprises for you. These can vary from
traditional performances such as the Beijing Opera, acrobatics and
martial arts to modern ones including concerts, ballroom dancing, pubs
and clubs. Each and every one has its individual enchantment for the
tourist. No description of our capital city is complete without mention
of the friendly people who throng the streets. Everywhere you will
encounter smiling faces and a warm welcome, especially from the children
who love to say 'Hello!' All these things add up to truly make your
visit a cultural experience of a lifetime.
