General information about Beijing
Some of the
architecture that you see today dates to the first decades of communist
rule. In many cases Soviet designs, such as you'll find all over Eastern
Europe, were used to provide inexpensive structures for the incipient and
penniless state. Since the mid-80s though, Beijing has seen a differently
motivated construction boom. Taiwanese, Singaporean and Hong Kong business
people are investing more and more money into the city's burgeoning skyline.
Like Jack and his Beanstalk, Beijingers wake up every morning to see that
their city has grown even taller, as if by magic.
It may surprise you to see that so many Western shops, brands and products
have preceded you here. For the most part, Chinese people do not look like
they can afford a Rolex, a Ferarri or a Burberry. Yet somebody's buying
them! Since it's not in the interest of wealthy mainland Chinese to draw attention
to themselves, it's up to you to go out and seek the new China.
