An Overview of Beijing<\/strong><\/p>\n

Beijing (formerly called Peking, Beiping, Dadu, Jingcheng, and\u00a0Yanjing in different periods of Chinese history) is the capital city of the People\u2019s Republic of China. It is also the nation\u2019s political and cultural hub. Additionally, it is the focal point for the country\u2019s transportation, scientific and technological development, education and communication. Its present-day population is over eleven million; thus,it is the\u00a0second largest city in China\u00a0(source)<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Beijing, the capital of the People\u2019s Republic of China, is the nation\u2019s political, cultural, scientific and educational heart as well as a key transportation hub. Beijing has served as the capital of the country for more than 800 years. The city has many places of historic interest and architectural\/scenic beauty. Beijing\u2019s travel industry has forged forward after China\u2019s economic reforms in 1978, and the city is now one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world. Beijing became the focus of world attention in 2008 when it hosted the Olympics. The games were a symbol of both China\u2019s progress and China\u2019s tradition with high-class and eye-catching facilities and spectacular ceremonies. Beijing shows, better than anywhere, the rapid development of Chinese society. The depth and breadth of Chinese civilization is laid before you every day in Beijing\u2013neon lights, giant malls, and contemporary architectures. You can see a lot in one day, too little in a week, and not enough in a lifetime\u00a0(source)<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Religion in Beijing<\/strong><\/p>\n

Religion is complex in Beijing, and in China in general. Many of the belief systems hover somewhere between traditional religion and old philosophy, as they universally believe in a sacred or spiritual world, but vary in how influential that world is in everyday life. Religions in China also do not demand exclusivity from their members. Chinese citizens may practice several different religions at one time, without feeling any sense of disloyalty.\u2028\u2028 That said, there are three main religions (or philosophies as the case may be) prominent in Beijing culture: Buddhism, Daoism, and Confucianism. Daoism (also called Taoism) is the only one native to China. Islam and Christianity have made minor inroads into the city\u00a0(source)<\/a>.<\/p>\n
