The Imperial Heart
The massive, majestic capital of the Middle Kingdom. Beijing is where the weight of imperial history meets the ambition of a global superpower. It is a city of grand scale, from its 8-lane ring roads to its 600-year-old palaces.
Yet, in the shadow of the skyscrapers, the soul of Old Beijing lives on in the Hutongs (alleyways). Here, neighbors play chess, grandpas walk their birds, and life moves at a pace that defies the city's frantic reputation.
