NI HAO BEIJING!


BEIJING WELCOMES YOU!


The Forbidden Palace
The Great Wall of China

So where do I start about the last home of the Summer Olympics? Beijing, also known as Peking, is the capital of China. Since the climate changes year round, Autumn is the perfect time to jet off to China for a great vacation. In the heart of Beijing lies the Forbidden City, the palace that was the home of the Ming and Qing dynasties. Outside the Forbidden City, there are some imperial gardens. Only a ride away from Beijing is the Great Wall of China, a wonder of the world. This border was put up to prevent invasions. Therefore, it is 4,000 miles long. A must do when you go to China: Have a traditional hotpot meal. I know what you are thinking, a hotpot, what in the world is that? It's not complicated. You have a pot of hot water boiling at the table, you order the food you would like to eat, decide how spicy you want to make the water, and boil the food! Easy as 123. China's capital also has a lot of culture to offer, don't miss out on Beijing.

  7. This sounds really interesting Malika, it's a nice break from all the studying to come here and read about a new place. How does the order of cities work? Or is it just random?
