Beijing - The capitol of china
Beijing, the chinese name, has two symbols in the chinese language, "bei"
and "jing" which can be translated with "north" and "capitol", becomes the
capitol of the chinese empire in the ??th dynasty. The "southern capitol"
Nanjing was the capitol before.
Here are some impressions of the city and the relicts of the empire.(Click on

The greatest temple for the emperor in Beijing.
On every place, where you can see an old building, you find a little/great
Market, where you can buy everything which attracts dust in your living room.
