Beijing is an intimate and informed portrait of a city at the centre of one of the worlds oldest civilizations and the capital of one of its newest superpowers. For hundreds of thousands of years, humans and their ancestors Peking Man among them have lived here. Over three and a half millennia, cities have risen and fallen in this place, five of them the capitals of dynastic empires. For centuries the stage for sieges, massacres, rebellions and political spectacle, Beijing has produced or inspired some of Chinas greatest and most iconic works of literature, theatre and music.At this books heart is a concise, lively history of the city, full of big and charismatic personalities and dramatic events. Thought-provoking essays on topics ranging from the elemental problems of water and air to the vibrant art scene and the architectural adventurism of the citys hyperbuildings take the reader to the shores of the citys lakes, down into its subway system and through its bustling art districts.Generously illustrated with modern photographs and compelling historical images and containing a number of useful listings, Beijing is the ultimate introduction to this extraordinary city for travellers and general readers alike.
