Beijing is the second largest city of China. But if Shanghai, taking the first place, is an economical and entertainment center of the country, Beijing is the cultural and political capital, which is growing and changing with a fantastic speed. Sometimes the whole areas change their look at once, and when Beijing got the status of the capital of Olympic Games, this process became even quicker. The combination of the dynamic development and a three-thousand history is the very thing that makes this city so attractive.
