Beijing's Tongzhou Railway Station opened on Tuesday as a major underground transport hub in the eastern Tongzhou district, expanding rail connections between Beijing and neighboring cities in Hebei province and Tianjin.
The typical Beijing tour includes the Great Wall, the Palace Museum, the Summer Palace, and a wander around the venues of the 2008 Olympic Games.
Since Beijing has been the capital of China for centuries, Beijing cuisine, also known as Jing cuisine, is influenced by culinary traditions from all over China.
