Peking is the capital of China and has over 7 million inhabitants. It lies along the Yong-ting-ho and Feng-ho rivers. The port, however, is a few kilometers away in the city of Tianjin by the Yellow Sea. This port is one of the largest ports in the world.
The area was populated 200,000 years ago, followed by a long imperial tradition in Beijing, which is still visible in the "inner city", the so-called imperial city. Recently, the city has been very well explored on the subway network, but it is impossible to discover all the sights of the city in one day, especially as the train from Tianjin also takes some time (about 2 hours) .
