Why to Beijing? Not to immerse yourself - no, just to touch the mysterious and beautiful country, whose ancient culture for us is “Chinese literacy”. To envy an orderly world, where temples are dedicated to the Highest Harmony and Universal Humanity. Wander around the imperial chambers, take a ride in a rickshaw - and immediately end up in the futuristic Olympic Stadium. And you leave with the feeling that you didn’t manage to understand something most important... The historical review cites the most important events from the history of Beijing. All the main attractions of the city are listed in one short list with comments. Separate essays are devoted to the best places for shopping and evening entertainment, as well as Chinese cuisine and Peking opera. At the end of each chapter there is a reference section with the necessary addresses, opening hours, and our recommendations for restaurants and shops. In the final section “Information for tourists” you will find many facts and tips that will be useful to you even before you start your trip to Beijing.
