Acrobats & Artists
Běijīng isn't just the political capital of China - it's the cultural heart of the country too.
The nation's top artists, writers, movie-makers and musicians converge here, making this
the
place to take the pulse of China's rapidly evolving cultural scene. With fine museums
and galleries galore, as well as an increasing number of music venues, there's enough to
keep you busy day and night. Běijīng is also the centre for the traditional Chinese per-
forming arts. Whether it's the mystique of Peking opera, tumbling acrobats or the graceful
lines of Chinese classical dance that entrance you, the capital has it and more.
