Beijing,
China is slowly emerging as one of the true, great modern cities.
The 2008 Olympic Games
in Beijing will be a perfect way to help display her charms.
Owing to more than 3000 years of history, Beijing has hundreds
of ancient historical and cultural sites of great value. Chinese
scholars and academics call Beijing "the greatest individual
project of mankind". While this may or may not be true,
the unbridled enthusiasm for their capital is evident as the
city itself resembles a great historical museum: there is the
Great Wall winding magnificently through the mountains, mysterious
Forbidden City with its grandeur, the massive Tiananmen Square,
the holy Temple of Heaven, the Summer Palace, Yuanming Palace
and Beihai Park. PKU or Peking
University, is one of China's finest.
