Beijing Travel Tips

 

Beijing is China's second largest city after Shanghai, with more than 17 million people in Beijing's area of jurisdiction. The city is divided into 16 urban and suburban districts and two rural counties; the city's urban area has about 13 million residents. Beijing is a major transportation hub, with dozens of railways, roads and motorways passing through the city. It is also the destination of many international flights arriving in China.

Beijing is recognized as the political, educational, and cultural center of the People's Republic of China, while Shanghai and Hong Kong predominate in economic fields. The city hosted the 2008 Olympic Games.


Top Attractions

Beijing is vibrant with amazing attractions, Forbidden City, the most magnificent palace in China; Ming Tombs, an imperial tomb cluster for thirteen emperors of the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644); Great Wall, one of the seven wonders of the world; Temple of Heaven, the worshipping site for the emperors; Summer Palace, the grandest imperial garden in China; Tiananmen Square, The largest square in the world; Lama Temple, a noted temple dedicated to Tibetan Buddhism; Beihai Park, a centuries-old park with marvelous scenery; Hutong, a carrier and mirror of Beijing folk culture, moreover, after the 28th Beijing Olympic Games, the National Stadium, Bird’s Nest, has become more and more popular.

 

Universities in Beijing

As the capital of China, there are at least 70 establishments of higher education in the Chinese capital. Most of the colleges and universities are public or affiliated; only a few are privately established. Such as, Peking University, Peking University, Renmin University of China, Beijing International Studies University, University of Science and Technology Beijing, Beijing Jiaotong University, Beijing Foreign Studies University, Central University of Finance and Economics.

 

Air Quality of Beijing

Compare with ten years ago, the air quality of Beijing has been improved greatly, especially after the Olympic Games. On 9th Sep, the city's environmental authorities said Beijing recorded 214 "blue sky days", 82.3 percent of the total, from January to mid-September, 18 days more than the same period last year,. This means it would only take an extra 46 blue sky days for the city to achieve its goal of 260 this year. Beijing has a five-grade classification of air quality: a reading below 50 is "excellent"; from 51 to 100 "fairly good"; 101 to 200 "slightly polluted"; 201 to 300 "poor"; and more than 301 "hazardous". Days with excellent or fairly good air quality are counted as blue sky days. Independent experts agree that the air quality in the Chinese capital has improved one year later and Beijing's air will only get better, but Beijing still faces pollution problems and the city still has some way to go before it can be compared with the world's cleanest cities.
