Beijing is the capital city, political and cultural center of the People's Republic of China. The city is situated in the northeast corner of China. Here you will find plenty of ancient Chinese history as there are many sights to see from Tiananmen Square, Summer Palace, Temple of Heaven, The Great Wall, and Lugouqiao (Marco Polo) Bridge just to name a few.

The city of Qingdao (which translates as Green Island) is designated as an important historical and cultural city by the government. The city of Qingdao today benefits from a rich history of colonial influence. Thanks to an era of German influence, the city is also famous as the beer capital of China - home to the popular "Tsingtao" beer. Qingdao is also a center of science, technology and art.
