Welcome to the Chinese capital Beijing, a city of 22 million people, and host of the ruling Communist Party's upcoming five-yearly congress, set to begin on Oct. 16.
Beijing was one of the world’s ancient capitals and is still home to some of the finest remnants of China’s imperial past.
A tour through Beijing will take you from its winding alleys, known locally as hutong(s), to the CBD area where tens of thousands commute daily to work from the city's outskirts; from its local markets to the relentless traffic; and from historic landmarks to modern dining tables at upscale restaurants.
