During my fifst trip to Beijing I gradually started to see why this city is so important on the global stage as a cultural and political center, an economic powerhouse, and a microcosm of all that is Chinese. Of course, just as you need to understand where a person has come from to truly be able to know that person and take a guess at where he is going, we first need to understand some of Beijing's tustory, so that is where we will start, We will talk about the history briefly; I'll do my best to present it in an entertaining way so that you won't fall asleep on me. Moving on from the history we will go into present Beijjng, descfibing the look, feel, and layout of the ciry, but we will also touch on what it's Iike to live here and be a part of the city.
