Welcome to Beijing DVD (High Light)

Beijing literally means "Northern capital". Beijing is the capital of the People's Republic of China. It is the nation's political, economic, cultural and educational center as well as China's most important center for international trade and communications. The city covers an area of more than 16,410 square kilometers and has a population of 14.93 million people. Beijing's long and illustrious history started some 500,000 years ago. It is here that the ancestors of modern Homo sapiens, Peking men, lived in caves. Records show that Beijing has been an inhabited city for more than three thousand years and has endured invasions by warlords and foreign powers, devastating fires, the rise and fall of powerful imperial dynasties and has emerged each time as a strong and vibrant city. For more than 800 years, Beijing was a capital city - from the Yuan Dynasty, the Ming and Qing dynasties. Thirty-four emperors have lived and ruled the nation in Beijing and it has been an important trading city from its earliest days.
Although now Beijing is a modern and fashionable city complete with a full 21st Century vitality, you can experience authentic Beijing life and become acquainted with 'old Beijing' by exploring its many teahouses, temple fairs, Beijing's Hutong and Courtyard and enjoy the Peking Opera. Add any or all of these to your Beijing tour and you will leave with a feeling of special appreciation in your heart for this ancient city that has truly seen it all and tells its story with matchless grace, charm and vigor.

Firstly, in that time, there is no country named vietnam, is a part of China.

Secondly, ruan an learned chinese culture from Chinese, it is no relationship to vietnam. And all the culture in today's vietnam is from Chinese culture, then some from French, How dare you say vietnamese architecture? I think it is better to say we can see a lot of feature,soul similar Chinese and French architecture in vietnam.

Thanks.

I visited China 2 times, once on 2007 and recently 2010 .. Great changes BUT more expensive and workers are struggling more to live .. But it is a beautiful and cultural country to visit.. Other cities are also good to visit like Chengde and Hanghzu very beautiful.. Beijing is so crowded but you have to visit

Ruan An Who designed Forbidden Beijing for Ming, is Vietnamese (he was born in Vietnam,and be catched to China together with thousands Vietnamese talent after China invaded Viet nam,Ho Quy Ly lost)

So every one can see Forbidden Beijing have feature,soul similar Vietnamese Architecture.

I don't lie,because Ruan An do not buid it( million Chinese built it) but Ruan An (Vietnamese architect) designe it.China rob civilation of other nation and say Han chinese creat it,nothing.
