Beijing — China's Capital
For more than 800 years, Beijing was  home to 33 emperors of four great Dynasties. Previously known as Peking by the Western world (before 1949), today Beijing is the capital of the People's Republic of China.

There are more attractions in Beijing than in any other city in China. It is also the nation's center of government, economy and culture, offering a complete contrast to Shanghai's bustling business metropolis.

Plan a visit here to learn about Chinese culture, Beijing's business environment... and to make business contacts.
