The Beijing 2008 Olympic Games will give friends from all over the world an opportunity to experience Beijing, the capital city of China.
Beijing is both a tribute to China's proud history and a gateway to China's future.

It is now an international metropolis, home to 11 million people from all walks of life.
Alongside 7300 cultural relics and historic sites and more than 200 scenic spots -- including the world's largest palace, the Forbidden City, as well as the Great Wall, Summer Palace, and Temple of Heaven -- Beijing boasts an impressive modern skyline, a reflection of its rapid economic development. The recently expanded Beijing Capital International Airport is China's largest and most advanced airport.
August and September mark the end of summer and the beginning of autumn in Beijing, with temperatures ranging from 18 to 30 degrees Celsius. This is the best season to visit, with clear, blue skies allowing visitors to fully witness the charm and vastness of the city.
