Beijing, City of Contrasts

by Scottyj36 - last update: Feb 13, 2003

The Founder of Modern China. Mao

Enterence to the Forbidden City
Beijing is a city of contrasts, the modern, and the old. The Stalinst propaganda, and the rampant capitialisim. It is a city of Giants, and I do not mean the people. Such large things like the Forbidden City, Tiananmen Square, The Great Wall,
The Temple of Heaven, and the Summer Palace. Beijing is huge, and fascinating. You can spend a week there easily. Enjoy the city.

Pros:"Lots of History, some of the worlds most amazing sights. Easy to get around."
Cons:"Agressive merchants, prostitues, everyone trying to get into your wallets. Very little english spoken."
In A Nutshell:"Even with the drawbacks, Beijing is a must see in China."
