Beijing

Beijing is the capital city of China and therefore home to serious Government and multinational lobbying plus of course all the international diplomatic community in China. It's a vast, sprawling city still undergoing re-generation so expect roadwork and heavy traffic - being the site of the 2008 Olympics a lot is going on here so be prepared! Summers here are hot and dry and winters cold so dress appropriately.


Chinese capital city of Beijing (Peking)

The Great Wall lies just an hours drive away, the Forbidden City, Temple of Heaven and Tiananmen Square are all here - Beijing is to some extent the heart of cultural China.

Beijing has a huge international student population and it also caters for lesser pockets as well. The area around the canal is becoming the top destination to hang out and watch the world go by.

Beijing's Capital Airport is conveniently located about 40 minutes by taxi (allow a good hour during rush hour) from downtown Beijing and services all international and domestic flights.
