Beijing
Beijing (pronounced /beɪˈdʒɪŋ/; Chinese: 北京; pinyin: Běijīng [peɪ˨˩ tɕɪŋ˥˥], a metropolis in northern China, is the capital city of the People's Republic of China (PRC). Beijing is also one of the four municipalities of the PRC, which are equivalent to provinces in China's administrative structure. Beijing Municipality borders Hebei Province to the north, west, south, and for a small section in the east, and Tianjin Municipality to the southeast.
Beijing is China's second largest city, after Shanghai. It is a major transportation hub, with dozens of railways, roads and motorways passing through the city. It is also the focal point of many international flights to China. Beijing is recognised as the political, educational, and cultural center of the People's Republic of China, while Shanghai and Hong Kong predominate in economic fields.
Beijing is one of the Four Great Ancient Capitals of China, and will host the 2008 Summer Olympics. It is also historically known in English as Peking
