Beijing was first settled around 1000BC by the Mongolians as a make-shift trading town. It was during the Warring States period that the Yan kingdom made it a capital city for the first time.
In 1215 Genghis Khan set fire to the city and killed mostly everyone. Having satisfied himself he promptly renamed the town Khanbaliq (the Khans town). Later from the Jin Dynasty onward, Beijing was to become the ultimate symbol of authority over the region and would almost continuously remain the capital up until today.
Beijing today, is the must see city of China. Beijing combines modernity with the ancient so as to facilitate your comfortable lodgings at say the Holiday Inn along with the desire to see the Great Wall, Summer Palace, Forbidden City, etc… Beijing is chalk full of ancient wonders and one could easily spend their entire trip in this city and come back for more.
In 2001, Beijing was awarded the Olympic Games to be held in 2008. Ever since Beijing has pushed hard to clean up its act. Most of the factories (if not all) have already been pushed out of the city limits and local officials are keeping a keen eye on air quality. In the end this should make for a much more enjoyable trip for visitors. So pack your bags and GoBeijing!
Beijing is a huge city with limitless options, so don't say there's nothing to do but drink! Try this:
~ Moscow Restaurant ~ Paintball ~ Get a driver's license
~ Go to the Cinema ~ Go to Tianjin for the weekend
