Rapid modernisation sits alongside communist style monuments and gleaming towers showing the country’s progress at the expense of it’s historical past. Beijing’s famous Hutongs, the narrow alleys where people’s daily lives and businesses thrived are sadly disappearing rapidly. Beijing is an intriguing places to visit with a constantly changing skyline. Here are our highlights of Beijing:</div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">1. FORBIDDEN CITY AND IMPERIAL PALACE</span></h2>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 1.6; margin-top: 0px; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
       The Forbidden City is a massive complex of over 9000 rooms and the size can be daunting for the visitor. The Forbidden City does get extremely crowded with visitors and not all of the rooms have anything worth seeing inside, but it is certainly worth a day of your time in Beijing.<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold; line-height: 0px; text-transform: uppercase;">2. TIANANMEN SQUARE</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 1.6; margin-top: 0px; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
      This is one of the most important sites in recent Chinese history and was where Chairman Mao held his impressive rallies and shows of strength. It was also the scene of the pro-democracy protests of the late 1980s.<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold; line-height: 0px; text-transform: uppercase;">3. TEMPLE OF HEAVEN</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 1.6; margin-top: 0px; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
     The temple dates from the 15th century and is the largest religious building in the whole of<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="http://www.travmonkey.com/far-east-asia/china/" style="color: #0f9be0; text-decoration: none;" title="China">China</a>. The grounds are as much of an attraction as the buildings and make a great place to relax and take in the scenery and atmosphere.<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold; line-height: 0px; text-transform: uppercase;">4. GREAT WALL</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 1.6; margin-top: 0px; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
     The iconic image of<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="http://www.travmonkey.com/far-east-asia/china/" style="color: #0f9be0; text-decoration: none;" title="China travel">China</a><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>is the Great Wall, and although not in the city itself, there are stretches of the wall within 40 miles of the city. Take advantage of one of the many organised trips to the Wall rather than trying to make the arrangements yourself.<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold; line-height: 0px; text-transform: uppercase;">5. SUMMER PALACE</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 1.6; margin-top: 0px; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
     The Summer Palace has been recognised by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site and is a park of almost 300 acres containing mansions, temples and a large lake. Despite the crowds, it is a tranquil and relaxing place.<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold; line-height: 0px; text-transform: uppercase;">6. OLYMPIC SITE</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 1.6; margin-top: 0px; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
     The Beijing Olympics of 2008 were a huge success, and all sports fans will find a visit to the site of the Games both interesting and educational. You can climb to the top of the Bird’s Nest stadium, and also see the Water Cube where the swimming events were held.<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold; line-height: 0px; text-transform: uppercase;">7. BEIHAI PARK</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 1.6; margin-top: 0px; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">

    Pakistan encapsulates great variety, from hidden bazaars in the narrow streets of Rawalpindi to architecture that rivals the Taj Mahal in Lahore. It is a land enriched by friendly people and magnificent landscapes. Opportunity for adventure is as high as its mighty mountain ranges, with watersports, mountaineering and trekking all popular and rewarding activities.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 5px; orphans: 2; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: -webkit-auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
Coupled with this is a profound sense of cultural concoction, Pakistan once being home to several ancient civilisations, and witness to the rise and fall of dynasties.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 5px; orphans: 2; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: -webkit-auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
In ancient times, the area that now comprises Pakistan marked the farthest reaches of the conquests of Alexander the Great. It was also the home of Buddhist Ghandaran culture. It was the independence of India in 1947 that catalysed Pakistan's nationhood. Under pressure from Indian Muslims, the British created a separate Muslim state. Originally, it consisted of two parts, East Pakistan (now Bangladesh) and West Pakistan (now a single unitary state).</div>

   Following military rule and civil war, Bangladesh became independent, truncating Pakistan. Today, the long-running Indo-Pakistan conflict continues, with the status of Kashmir at its heart. Although it has a majority Muslim population, Kashmir became part of India in 1947. Pakistan's landscape is as fractured and unsettled as its history.</div>
