Beijing is the capital of China and one of the world’s most populous cities, with over 21 million residents in its metropolitan area. Located in the north of the country, it serves as China’s political, cultural and educational centre. The city blends ancient heritage — including landmarks such as the Forbidden City, the Temple of Heaven and nearby sections of the Great Wall — with a vast, modern urban landscape. Districts like Dongcheng and Chaoyang host many of Beijing’s music venues, record stores and cultural hubs, making the city a key stop for both history and underground culture.
