Beijing is hot. Great people, great food and a cultural mix that has long been underestimated. No matter if you are just visiting short term or in it for the long run. I guarantee you will fall in love with the city and the people.
1. The center of power of a nation of 1.4 billion
2. The Great Wall of China
3. The cultural and educational center of China
4. A melting pot of all Chinese minorities and perhaps nationals of all countries in the world (all embassies are in Beijing)
5. As a result of point 4, genuine food from all Chinese provinces and countries around the globe (pictured: fried caterpillars)
6. Hutongs, hutongs, hutongs
7. An ancient but well preserved city
8. The cradle of standard Mandarin Chinese aka 普通话
9. The people
10. The Sinology Institute, haha
