Abstract

The People’s Republic of China’s capital, Beijing, is a dynamic city with a rich cultural legacy. Beijing, the nation's political, cultural, and educational center, is well situated in the country’s north. Beijing is a major transportation hub that links the various regions of the nation (Chaolin and Cook, Planning Asian cities, Routledge, New York and London, 2012). Its advantageous location strengthens its position as a key participant in China's economic growth and cross-cultural interchange.
