Shanghai and Beijing. In Beijing, not only the political capital of China but also its cultural
center, you can visit parts of the famous Chinese Wall (over 40 miles of it) and the "Forbidden City", which
used to be the palace of the Chinese emperor. The absolute contrast to Beijing is Shanghai, the business
