Beijing is the capital of China. It is a city of massive contradictions where the ancient jostles for space with the modern. The Great Wall of China meanders close and the Forbidden City welcomes visiting tourists. A construction boom is squeezing out the old Beijing of narrow alleys and tiny courtyards but efforts are now being made to preserve Beijing's history.
