Publisher Comments:

This unique guide traces the origins of the traditions still upheld by the people of Beijing, traditions that have become unique to the city. The book also showcases many historical sites, palaces, temples, princes' mansions, and old Beijing architecture that can be found in the city today. From the grandeur of the Forbidden City to stately Tiananmen Square; from Qianmen, the ancient city gates, to the awe-inspiring Great Wall of China, Discover Beijing takes you on a journey of discovery into the ancient and modern heart of beautiful Beijing.
