Beijing, as the capital of the world's most populous nation and longest continuous civilisation, is rich in culture and history. It is a sprawling city of over 12 million people, located inland in the north-east of the country.
Since its early days as the Mongol capital in the 12th Century, through the Ming and Qing Dynasties as the capital of the Chinese empire, strategically located to keep an eye on the northern hordes, Beijing has long been the pinnacle of civilisation in China. This is made obvious by the wealth of historical sites in and around the city.
From world famous attractions such as the Great Wall and the Forbidden City to the charm of Old Beijing's hutong alleys and eating Peking Duck, the city has a lot to offer.
In line with the continuing drive for modernisation in China, Beijing can be
heavily polluted and sometimes resembles a large construction site. Some buildings,
or even whole neighbourhoods, that were standing yesterday will become a new
shopping mall tomorrow. The price of this may be the loss of the ambience that
gives this city such an enchanting feel
These districts contain a warmth and atmosphere not present in the shiny new shopping malls and skyscrapers that are so quickly replacing them. Strolling through a hutong neighbourhood insulated from the noise and bustle outside, it can sometimes seem as if time has come to a stop. Old people sit by the side of the road observing the days pass by or, when the weather is fine, playing mahjong or cards with friends.
Some of the best places to experience 'Old Beijing' are in the areas surrounding the Houhai and Qianhai lakes, to the north of the Forbidden City. These districts were home to the officials and Generals and therefore contain the best architectural examples as well as being the best preserved.
Stroll around the hutongs, soak up the atmosphere and explore at your own pace. Food can also be sampled at any one of the many Old Beijing restaurants around town.
ShoppingQuality varies greatly, as does the price tag - don't expect that porcelain vase in the street market to be a priceless antique. However the selection and price are reasonable for those looking for a couple of souvenirs.
Favourite places for shopping are in the Liulichang area (specialising in arts and crafts), at the top floor of the Hongqiao market or at the weekend Panjiayuan antique market. Also popular with tourists is the Silk Alley market, which sells all manners of fake brand name clothing and a few other interesting bits and pieces.
Note: Bargaining in markets is an absolute necessity and should be conducted with vigour, as the local residents do, and merchandise bearing an international brand name is best considered fake, regardless of the stallholder's protestations.
Beijing is one of the best places to find antique furniture or have furniture made to order, although the cost of shipping can be expensive.
International brand goods are available in Beijing, but are generally as expensive
as elsewhere. They are readily available in the glittering new shopping malls
of Wangfujing or Xidan.
Nightlife and Eating Out
As with all of China, eating is an important part of life. Business deals, family
gatherings or simply hanging out with friends revolve around the dinner table.
Forget the quiet, romantic meal for two by candlelight, Beijing's restaurants
are as the people like them; bright, loud and busy. Be prepared to shout and
don't worry about the mess.
Being the national capital, all of the different schools of Chinese food can be found in Beijing. However, it is the local specialty Beijing Duck that visitors prefer. Wrapped in a flour pancake with onion and plum sauce and tasting superb, this dish is suitably world famous. Of the many duck restaurants around town, Quanjude is the oldest and most well known.
Imperial cuisine, as served to the former emperors of China, consists if many strange and interesting dishes, including delicious cold appetisers. Some imperial restaurants will explain the history of the dish for you as you eat. Hot Pot, a favourite in winter, is fun to eat as you cook your food at the table in a boiling pot. Steamed dumplings are a popular staple food, come in many different flavours, and can be found in almost any local restaurant.
In the evenings, an outdoor food market springs up near the north end of Wangfujing serving all manner of local snacks, from lamb-skewers and noodles to deep-fried scorpions.
Beijing, being home to a large expatriate community, has a full selection of international restaurants, the majority of these being located in the Chaoyang district.
Note: Outside of the popular tourist areas, it may be difficult to find English menus. Ask your hotel to write down a few interesting dishes for you or simply point at the next table's dishes.
Beijing's bars are concentrated around the Sanlitun area in the Chaoyang district. The main bar street consists of a string of busy, loud bars spilling out onto street-side tables and is popular with both foreigners and locals alike. The south bar street, down an alley to the south west of the main bar street, has several venues playing live music and generally is more relaxed.
China's capital offers regular performances of Beijing Opera. While the wailing and crashing of the opera may not be to everybody's liking, the combination of singing, dancing, acrobatics and fabulous costumes is generally very entertaining. The best venue for experiencing Beijing Opera is considered to be the Zhengyici Theatre.Acrobatics is also a perennial crowd favourite, showing superb balance, flexibility, coordination and strength, all in a highly entertaining performance. Acrobatics performances are regularly held at the Chaoyang Theatre.
Check local publications such as 'City Weekend' and 'Metrozine,' which are
produced on a bi-weekly basis listing events, bars, clubs, galleries and exhibitions.
These can be picked up in most bars and hotels.

China travel info
General information for the traveller new to China.
Visas
All foreign nationals require a visa to enter China and this can be obtained
prior to departure through your nearest Chinese Embassy or Consulate or from
a local branch of CITS. Alternatively, if spending time in Hong Kong before
visiting Mainland China, a visa can be arranged quickly and easily from the
Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the PRC, CTS, CITS or from one of the many travel
agents specialising in Chinese visas.
Different types of visa are available depending on length and purpose of stay and these are valid from the date of issue, therefore do not apply for the visa too far in advance. The visa takes up an entire page and will not be issued if one clean page is not available in your passport. Once in the country, an extension for a period of up to 30 days can be applied for at the Foreign Affairs section of the Public Security Bureau (PSB) - a branch of the police force that can be found in most towns.
Once in China, personal identification must be carried at all times.
Customs
Unlimited foreign currency may be imported but must be declared on arrival.
The export of foreign currency is limited to the amount that was imported and

Prohibited items: Arms, ammunition, radio transmitters/receivers, exposed but
