Beijing, formerly Peking, is the capital of the People’s Republic of China and is the second largest city in China by urban population with over 20 million people after Shanghai with 23 million people. In Chinese, Beijing means Northern Capital.

At the airport we are met by our tour guide Leilei, who will accompany us throughout our time in Beijing. She is kind, energetic and will teach us a lot about China and Beijing.

We travel around in a coach or small bus.
