Beijing is the capital of the People's Republic of China. Our first stop in this city the size of Belgium was Tiananmen Square, followed by The Forbidden City (so called because it was off limits to anyone but emperors and their entourages for 500 years). We also plunged into the fascinating hutong (narrow alleyways) by pedicab, stopping off in this unique and fast-disappearing part of the city's old interior to visit a typical hutong home, and a kindergarten for the deaf.
