| Beijing is a vibrant, modern city with a long and rich history. First becoming a capital city approximately 3,000 years ago, Beijing has served as the centre of many dynasties and kingdoms.
As the educational and technological centre of China, it is home to the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences and more than 70 institutions of higher education and research. Students flock to Beijing to attend some of the nation’s most famous universities, like Beijing University and Tsinghua University. Zhongguancun, known as China’s ‘Silicon Valley’, is Beijing’s pulsing heart for information technology research and development. Numerous domestic and international academic conferences are held in Beijing throughout the year. A city of both tradition and modernity, Beijing has a convenient and rapidly expanded transportation system. The subway network and five major ring roads provide convenient transport within the city and to the suburbs. The Capital International Airport with 3 terminals provides direct connections to more than 100 cities in over 30 countries. The new high speed rail connection provides a fast link between the airport and the town centre. |
