Beijing, China
After our trip to Taiwan, we took a short flight to China or Beijing. It is very chilly at the moment, because right now its about 7 in the morning. It is also the capital of China as well. The name literally means "North Capital". Beijing is renowned for its opulent palaces, temples, and huge stone walls and gates. Beijing's art treasures and universities have long made the city a centre of culture and art in China. The city also hosted the 2008 Summer Olympics.
