Beijing, a city with a history of over 3,000 years, is a treasure trove of historical and cultural heritage. If you are a history lover, the Beijing Central Axis which was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List this July, offers you a good travel route, as you can find several historical landmarks along the way. If you want to get a glimpse of the old lifestyle of the locals, wandering through the city's hutongs (small lanes) is a good choice.

Besides the historical, Beijing shows its fast-paced development as the country's first-tier city through various modern facilities, architecture and busy streets.
