Beijing is a great city in Asia. Beijing is the capital of the People's Republic of China




Beijing is the capital of the People's Republic of China. Part of its borders is formed by the Great Wall of China, a huge wall which stretches along the mountains. Although it is only the second largest city in China, it has a population of over 10 million people and is still growing.

In 1421 Beijing became the imperial capital of the Ming dynasty (1368-1644) and it was during this time that the spacious walled city is built. Like many ancient cities, the walls and streets were based on the points of the compass.

Among the many historical and cultural landmarks in Beijing is Tienanmen Square, which is one of the largest public squares in the world. It is used for political rallies and military parades. On the west side of the square is The Great Hall of people, where the national People’s Congress meets. To the south is the massive Memorial Hall of the chairman Mao, which was built to hold the remains of the founder of Communist China, Mao Tse Tung.

Today, Beijing’s broad, straight streets are crowded with people, bicycles. Very few people own a car. Industries include textiles, petrochemicals, steel and engineering; it is also the city of great cultural importance. There are more than fifty institutes of higher education, including Beijing and Qinghua University.
