Beijing is full of contrasts. From its elegant restaurants located in chic hotels to the humble yet lively fare available in local dining rooms. See the real Beijing before the city is bulldozed to make room for tall skyscrapers. Watch a local punk band and get a glimpse of vibrant youth culture or visit an antiquated Peking opera hall or fraternize with seniors at the many gardens and parks - all the things that make up this fascinating, vibrant capital.
