Description
The dignified and opulent city of Beijing has long captured imaginations with its forbidden palaces, emperors and exotic food, wrapped in a history of intrigue and misery.
Beijing, previously known as Peking, is the capital city of the People’s Republic of China. it is home to the longest wall in the world, as well as the largest palace in the world. Beijing Opera is a combination of song, spoken dialogue, and codified action. People rehearse their opera singing at parks around the city as well as in opera houses.
Like our card Shanghai, Pearl of Asia, our Beijing card depicts the most famous sites of the city.
This is a card for a historian, a traveler, a political scientist, international businessman, a professor, architect, for birthdays, celebration and vacation.
