“The transformation of Beijing for the 2008 Olympics is emerging as perhaps the most ambitious remake of any major world capital in history.” (Newsweek, August 2007)
Beijing, the imperial capital of China formerly known as Peking, is the political and cultural center of the world’s most populous country. Over the last 10 years, Beijing has transformed itself from an austere Communist capital into an international city. As the political capital of the country, Beijing is a showplace of towering offices and government buildings.
While some of its population still reside in Hutong complexes dating from the Ming Dynasty signs of modernization are everywhere – yet, somehow the juxtaposition of these modern entities with Beijing’s ancient architectural treasures offers an almost mesmerizing sight for the travelers. We welcome you to one of the world’s most dynamic cities.
The host of the 2008 Olympics, Beijing is the chosen place for China’s “coming out party”. A declaration to the world that China is ready to enter the ranks of the great modern powers. Beijing’s infrastructure is being rebuilt to meet the demands of the 21st Century. As declared on the cover of Newsweek, August 2007, “The transformation of Beijing for the 2008 Olympics is emerging as perhaps the most ambitious remake of any major world capital in history.”
