Beijing, China's capital, has inspired and fascinated the western visitors
for centuries, ever since Marco Polo visited the great palace of Kublai
Khan. In recent years, Beijing has begun
building skyscrapers, which until now were found only in the contemporary
Hong Kong. The juxtaposition of ancient Peking against this rapidly emerging,
West-influenced new capital of the world’s most populous country forms
a complex tapestry of sights and sounds unmatched anywhere else in the
world. The Greater Beijing area offers every type of accommodation to
fit any itinerary, from first rate hotels in the metropolitan areas to
smaller lodges and inns in the surrounding areas.
