Beijing Hotels

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.

The Great Wall of China is one of the symbols of People's Republic of China and, of course, an impression of this country would be incomplete without having a look at this object. The closest section takes place at a 70-kilometer distance to the north from Beijing and is considered to be one of the most popular touristic places.

The Forbidden City. The Forbidden City is the symbol of Beijing and the incarnation of the imperator's epoch. It was built during the rule of Min dynasty and during 500 years it served as the imperator's residence. Simple Chinese citizens were not allowed to get there.
