Located in the northern plains, Beijing is China's capital city. Historic records and
archeological findings show that the city dates back more than 3,000 years. It was
the capital of 5 feudal dynasties : the Liao (907-1125), Jin (1115-1234),
Yuan (1271-1368), Ming (1368-1644), and Qing (1644-1911).
Many Beijing attractions such as the Forbidden City, the Great Wall, the Peking Man
site at Zhoukoudian, the Temple of Heaven and the Summer Palace are UNESCO World Heritage
sites. Today, Beijing is home to 13 million people and is China's government and cultural
centre.
