The most exciting thing in Beijing to watch is the Kungfu show.


Beijing tour is not complete without witnessing the breathtaking performances of the artists. Its an exhilerating blend of skill and acrobatics. I missed it, sadly.

Watch a video clipping of the performance :

The Bird's Nest is another attraction one can hardly afford to miss. This is the magnificient stadium built in the Capital of China to host the Olumpics 2008.


This engineering marvel showcased the Chinese preparation to host an Olympics. Now, though the stadium is not effectively used for sporting events, it attracts thousands of visitors.

Like any other Chinese cities, Beijing also has a number of sky scrappers. Notable among them is the CCTV (Chinese Television) Head quarters. In 2007, it was under construction. It has a very interesting style of construction. Two leaning towers jonited together at the top. After its completion, this building looks so marvelous.



The metro rail in Beijing, otherwise called Beijing Subway, is another thing of interest in the capital city. During the Olympics 2008, the authorities developed the metro rail to the top of the world.It is hard to find a better metro rail system and railway stations that Beijing Subway boasts of.


Never miss a ride on the Subway train when in Beijing.  There are 15 Lines running across the city. We have to agree with the Chinese that they put technology to better use than everyone else...


Conspecuious by its absene is the tram services like in the European countries. No Chinese cities- as much as I saw- do not have tram mode of transportation
