Beijing , also known as Peking, is the capital and one of the largest cities of China. It is one of the world’s most populous cities, which has a population of 18,546,000.

After Shanghai, Beijing is China’s largest city in terms of urban population. Beijing is the center of the economy (though Shanghai plays a greater role in that), Chinese politics, culture, education, commerce, finance, media, fashion, technology, transport, and the space programs. Most of China’s international and national businesses have their main headquarters in Beijing. The city is a major transportation hub, where the national highway, expressway, railway, and high-speed rail network all crisscross. The Beijing Capital International Airport is the world’s largest and busiest airport, which handles most of the nation’s air traffic.
