The capital of the largest communist countries of these days and one of the most overpopulated cities of the world, Beijing is unbelievably distinctive. Strict and practical architecture of the late XX century, wide highways crammed with all kinds of transport including bike-rickshaws, astonishing street cuisine with its shocking ingredients fulfilling the air around with unusual smells. Skyscrapers hide the millennium-old history of China – the Forbidden City, Buddhist, Taoist and Confucian temples, mausoleum of the great Mao and old quarters of the city. And of course the main highlight of the program is the symbol of entire China and one of the greatest architectural constructions of the world – The Great Wall of China.
