A conurbation of nearly 14 million people, Beijing is China's capital and one of the four centurally adininistered cities in the country, the other three being Chongqing, Shanghai and Tianjin. The city is also China's political, cultural centre as well as a transport and international exchange hub.

Beijing is an ancient city well known in the world for her long history and rich culture. Her history dates back to more than 3,000 years. Half a million years ago, in the time of Peking Man, the remote ancestor of Chinese nation, already lived at Zhoukoudian Village 48 kilometres, southwest of Beijing.

Beijing was first seen in historical records in the name of Ji, meaning thistle. The slave state came into existence with Ji as the centre was called Yah (a powerful independent state at that time). After several hundred years, the State of Yan rose in the North and became one of the seven powers (the other six powers being Qin, Zhao, Qi, Han, Wei, and Chu) contending for hegemony in the Central Plains. According to historical records, Ji, the capital of the State of Yan, was the richest city at that time. Ji was exactly the predecessor of the city of Beijing.

The city of Ji had an advantageotts geographical position for development. It is situated in a small plain surrounded on three sides by mountains and to the south lies a broad expanse of rolling plain, the vast North China Hain. Among the mountain ranges as her back there are a number of natural gorges leading to the south and the north, such as, Nankou (Southern Entry) Pass, Juyongguan (Dwelling-in- Harmony) Pass, Shangguan Pass (demolished during 1522-1566 of the Ming Dynasty), and Badaling (Eight Prominent Peaks) at the northwestern corner leading to the Mongolian Plateau; Gubeikou Pass at the northeastern comer leading to the vast Song-Liao (Northeast) Plain. In this way, the city of Ji became a communication hub and a strategic point between mountains and plains and between the south and the north as well.

Since 1949, Beijing has become the capital of the People's Republic of China. This ancient, young, solemn, and yet charming famous city of culture draws millions of domestic and overseas tourists all the year round. In the modernization programme of reform and opening-up to the outside world, Beijing has been attracting worldwide attention.

Today, Beijing is the political and cultural centre and the home of the greatest repository of monuments from imperial China. The city encompasses 17,020 square kilometres with a population currently pushing 14 million. It administers 16 districts end 2 counties.
