Beijing, capital of the People's Republic of China, a modern metropolis with the charm of the ancient East, is the nation's political and cultural centre. The metropolis is home to more than 13 million permanent and visiting residents. The city offers visitors a moderate, continental climate. The city itself is both ancient and modern. Beijing has existed as a city for more than 3,000 years. Home to six UNESCO recognised world heritage sites, visitors may take in the historic beauty of attractions such as The Forbidden City, The Great Wall of China, and the Peking Man site at Zhoukoudian. Looking to the future, Beijing recently hosted the hugely successful twenty ninth Summer Olympics in August of 2008. Not to miss destinations and features include the Beijing Opera, the city's numerous cloisonné factories, and the famous Hutongs, which means "small lanes." Shopping in Beijing offers the visitor a real adventure. The city boasts a number of shopping districts including the Panjiayuan Curio & Antique Market and Liulichang Street. Shoppers are encouraged to bargain for what they want. Some even claim that haggling is the best part of a shopping trip. Boasting a wealthy and lengthy heritage unmatched in the world, Beijing nonetheless continues to modernise and is set to become one of the leading capitals of the twenty first century.
