About Beijing elsewhere
"There's only one place to begin exploring the city - Tiananmen Square ,where Mao Zedong declared the foundation of the People's Republic."
cityguide.travel-guides.com
"Beijing's undertaken an image makeover in recent times, which has included the abolition of the last of the city's official off-limit areas, established in the 1950s to quarantine the Cultural Revolution from foreign influences, and the successful pursuit of the 2008 Olympic Games; with the latter, however, propaganda benefits rather than sport may be foremost in the minds of Chinese officials, considering one proposal to stage beach volleyball games and part of the triathlon in Tiananmen Square."

mhh from Finland wrote about Central TV Tower 5 years, 11 months ago
A place to visit if history is not your thing. Nothing ancient in sight from the tower. Choose a clear day to come here. There's a nice park with artificial lake next
to the tower.

One of my favorite restaurants in the city. Serves excellent modern Chinese food. Strongly recommended. Book a table in advance or prepare to wait ½h in a lobby bar. I get hungry even when I'm thinking the food. Nam.

Watch out for groups of Chinese tourists in matching baseball hats following elevated umbrellas or colored flags.
