Beijing, the capital of the People's Republic of China is the
nation's political, cultural, scientific and educational heart
as well as a key transportation hub. Beijing has served as the
capital of the country for more than 800 years. The city has
many places of historic interest and architectural/scenic
beauty. Beijing's travel industry has forged forward after
China's economic reforms in 1978, and the city is now one of the
most popular tourist destinations in the world. Beijing became
the focus of world attention in 2008 when it hosted the
Olympics. The games were a symbol of both China’s progress and
China’s tradition with high-class and eye-catching facilities
and spectacular ceremonies.
