Beijing
北京
As the capital of the People's Republic of China, Beijing is located in northern China, close to Tianjin Municipality and partially surrounded by Hebei Province. The city covers an area of more than 16,410 square kilometers and has a population of 14.93 million people.
作为..的首都，北京位于中国北部，接近天津市，部门被河北省环抱。全市面积16410多平方公里，生齿1493万。
Beijing is a city with four distinct seasons. Its best is late spring and autumn. But autumn is taken as the golden tourist season of the year since there is sometimes in the spring of recent years, a yellow wind. The best time to visit Beijing is the months of May, September, and October when people can enjoy bright sunshine and blue skies. If you like winter, you will have other chances to appreciate another landscape of Beijing. After skiing in Beihai and viewing the snowy sights on West Hill, enjoying the steaming hotpot is the best choice, which is really the fun of tour in Beijing.
北京是一个四时分明的城市。最好的季候是晚春和秋季。但因为近年来春天有时会有沙尘，是以秋天被认为是一年中的黄金旅行季候。游览北京的最佳时间是5月、9月和10月，那时人们能够享受通亮的阳光和蓝天。若是你喜欢冬天，你将有机会赏识北京的另一处景致。在北海滑完雪，在西山旁观雪景之后，吃一顿热气腾腾的暖锅是最好的选择，这才是北京旅行的情趣地点。Beijing's long and illustrious history started some 500,000 years ago. It is here that the ancestors of modern Homo sapiens, Peking men, lived in caves. Records show that Beijing has been an inhabited city for more than three thousand years and has endured invasions by warlords and foreign powers, devastating fires, the rise and fall of powerful imperial dynasties and has emerged each time as a strong and vibrant city. For more than 800 years, Beijing was a capital city - from the Yuan Dynasty to the Ming and Qing dynasties. Thirty-four emperors have lived and ruled the nation in Beijing and it has been an important trading city from its earliest days.
北京悠长而绚烂的汗青始于大约50万年前。现代人的祖先北京人就是在这里栖身的。据记载，北京作为一个有人栖身的城市已有三千多年的汗青，履历了军阀和列强的入侵，扑灭性的火灾，壮大的帝国王朝的兴衰，每一次都从新成为一个壮大而布满活力的城市。从元朝到明清，北京在800多年的时间里一向是中国的首都。34位皇帝在北京生活和统治过这个国度，北京从早期起头就是一个主要的商业城市。Although now Beijing is a modern and fashionable city complete with full 21st century vitality, you can experience authentic Beijing life and become acquainted with “old Beijing” by exploring its many teahouses, temple fairs, Beijing's hutongs and siheyuans and enjoy the Peking Opera.
固然如今的北京是一座现代时尚的城市，布满了21世纪的活力，但你能够经由索求那边的茶馆、庙会、胡同和四合院，赏识京剧，体验正宗的北京生活，熟悉“老北京”。With the biggest central square in the world - Tian'anmen Square, the Forbidden City that is the largest and best-preserved imperial palace complex, a superbly preserved section of the Great Wall, as well as the largest sacrificial complex in the world - the Temple of Heaven, Beijing attracts both domestic and foreign visitors who all come to wonder at its century-old history and unique cultural relics.
北京拥有世界上最大的中央广场——天安门广场，世界上最大、留存最无缺的故宫建筑群——紫禁城，留存最无缺的长城，以及世界上最大的祭奠建筑群——天坛，吸引着国表里旅客，人们来到这里，赞叹于它的百年汗青和奇特的文化遗遗产。
