Short Introduction of Beijing
Beijing, also known as Peking, is the capital of the People's Republic of China and one of the most populous cities in the world, with a population of 19,612,368 as of 2010. The city is the country's political, cultural, and educational center, and home to the headquarters for most of China's largest state-owned companies. The metropolis, located in northern China, borders Hebei Province to the north, west, south, and a small section to the east, and Tianjin Municipality to the southeast.
Few cities in the world have served as long as the political and cultural centre of an area as immense. Beijing is one of the Four Great Ancient Capitals of China. It has been the heart of China’s history for centuries, and there is scarcely a major building of any age in Beijing that does not have at least some national historical significance. The city is renowned for its opulent palaces, temples, and huge stone walls and gates. Its art treasures and universities have long made it a centre of culture and art in China.
Beijing is an ideal destination for study tour. In order to meet the 24th Winter Olympic Games in 2022, Beijing has developed a number of snow and ice tour products. In winter, you will have a unique experience of enjoying the spectacular scenery of the Great Wall in snow and ski in the Beijing suburbs. Charming Beijing welcomes you.
